A new hypothesis may hold the key to solving four medical mysteries associated with the chronic brain disorder. Four unsolved mysteries around schizophrenia have long…
Working with model mice, post-mortem human brains, and people with schizophrenia, researchers at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science in Japan have discovered that a…
Findings reveal potential new strategy for treating people diagnosed with schizophrenia. Columbia researchers have restored normal working memory to a mouse model of schizophrenia, eliminating…
Findings from the University of Missouri study could help identify people at-risk. Help may be on the way for people who might lose contact with…
