   * **Prenatal infection and schizophrenia** – According to Alan S. Brown of Columbia University, "Accumulating evidence suggests that prenatal exposure to infection contributes to the etiology of schizophrenia." In a 2006 study, Brown showed that prenatal infections such as rubella, influenza, and toxoplasmosis are all associated with higher incidence of schizophrenia.(({{pubmed>long:16469941}})) Brown found a seven-fold increased risk of schizophrenia when mothers were exposed to influenza in the first trimester of gestation. This work was echoed by a 2009 paper by Sørensen //et al.// who showed that bacterial infections (upper respiratory tract and gonococcal infections) were associated with elevated risk of the disease.(({{pubmed>long:18832344}}))   * **Prenatal infection and schizophrenia** – According to Alan S.
