a deformed brain is aparently the cause of schizophrenia. After doing some research, I came about a bunch of articles that talked about how a gene might cause the brain to grow wrong at teenage years. the orbitofrontal lobe and thalamus aparently contain less grey matter.

There is also an abnormally low amount of gamma activity in people with schizophrenia, and that's why they seem to be literally stuck in a dream. when there is low gamma acivity, the brain tends to not connect a lot of parts in the brain. there are people though, who are experienced with meditation, and have an abnormally high amount of gamma activity. some can go up to 200 hz (monks in tibet). I'm not surprised to see that medications actually don't bring a person with schizophrenia to gamma activity.

so schizophrenia might be a desease very similar in nature to alzhimers.
