Summary:High plexus visibility is a potential biological marker of a schizophrenia diathesis. Plexus visibility was assessed in college students endorsing schizotypal traits and normal controls. Twenty-two (nearly 14%) of the 160 schizotypal individuals displayed the trait. None of the controls ( n=99) showed high plexus visibility. These results provide supportive evidence for an association between increased plexus visibility and schizotypy.
