No-one admits to watching them – yet, everyone knows them: Telenovelas. Originated in Latin American countries, the TV format of the Telenovela has made a triumphant procession across the globe, having millions of women (and men) hooked in front of the TV on a daily basis.

For example, reduced cognitive ability may precede the onset of schizophrenia symptoms. Also, these deficits may be present in healthy relatives of people diagnosed with schizophrenia. [more...]
