Animal model for schizophrenia identifies a novel approach for treating cognitive impairments
Researchers have been seeking a safe and effective way to treat cognitive impairments associated with schizophrenia by enhancing N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptors. view more (2009-06-10)
Study finds gene related to brain development and function plays causal role in schizophrenia
According to a new study conducted by researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, variations of a gene related to brain development and function-OLIG2-may play a causal role in the development of schizophrenia, a hereditary psychiatric disorder with no known biological cause. view more (2006-08-16)
First-ever Study into the Psychological Prevention of Schizophrenia
Three in every 100 people will experience psychotic episodes, making psychosis more common that diabetes. Research is now underway into new ways of detecting and treating psychosis, in particular schizophrenia, in its early stages. This is the first-ever attempt to see if schizophrenia can be prevented. Schizophrenia is a very severe disorder,... view more... (2000-06-08)

Study challenges idea that schizophrenia is distinct in developing and developed regions
Research by the World Health Organization (WHO) has suggested that the course and symptomatic expression of schizophrenia is relatively more benign in developing societies. However, a new study from Current Anthropology challenges this assumption, comparing biological and cultural indicators of schizophrenia in urban, Western societies with study... view more...

Johns Hopkins researchers discover new schizophrenia gene
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine are one gene closer to understanding schizophrenia and related disorders. Reporting in the Jan. 9 issue of the American Journal of Human Genetics, the team describes how a variation in the neuregulin 3 gene influences delusions associated with schizophrenia. view more (2009-02-04)

Glutamate: Too much of a good thing in schizophrenia?
