Mouse model for schizophrenia has genetic on-off switch
Scientists at Johns Hopkins have developed a mouse model for schizophrenia in which a mutated gene linked to schizophrenia can be turned on or off at will. view more (2007-09-11)
A new analysis suggests that schizophrenia may be caused by an interaction of genes and viruses in glia cells
A report in the open access journal BMC Psychiatry presents a new hypothesis that may explain the causes of the psychiatric disease, schizophrenia. The hypothesis hinges on glia, a special type of cell, which is important for the maintenance of the connections between brain cells. By re-examining previously published research the authors suggest... view more... (2002-07-25)
Hopkins team develops first mouse model of schizophrenia
Johns Hopkins researchers have genetically engineered the first mouse that models both the anatomical and behavioral defects of schizophrenia, a complex and debilitating brain disorder that affects over 2 million Americans. view more (2007-07-31)
Genetic variant predicts antipsychotic response for schizophrenia patients by ethnicity
Schizophrenia is a developmental disorder with a large genetic component contributing to increased risk. Available antipsychotic medications treat some of the symptoms of schizophrenia, but are typically effective in only a subset of patients. view more (2008-01-09)
Schizophrenia linked to dysfunction in molecular brain pathway activated by marijuana
Alterations in a molecular brain pathway activated by marijuana may contribute to the cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia, according to a report in the July issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-07-08)
Research supports toxoplasmosis link to schizophrenia
Scientists have discovered how the toxoplasmosis parasite may trigger the development of schizophrenia and other bipolar disorders. view more (2009-03-11)
Faulty 'wiring' in the brain triggers onset of schizophrenia
A new study by researchers at the Institute of Psychiatry (IoP), King's College London has discovered abnormalities in the white matter of the brain that seem to be critical for the timing of schizophrenia. view more (2009-10-26)
Siblings of schizophrenia patients display subtle shape abnormalities in brain
Subtle malformations in the brains of patients with schizophrenia also tend to occur in their healthy siblings, according to investigators at the Silvio Conte Center for the Neuroscience of Mental Disorders at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2008-02-20)
Researchers link genetic errors to schizophrenia
A team of researchers at the University of Washington and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories has uncovered genetic errors that may shed light on the causes of schizophrenia. view more (2008-03-28)
High risk of chronic health conditions plagues those with schizophrenia
Both men and women with schizophrenia are significantly more likely to have one or more of 46 common chronic health conditions than individuals without mental illness. view more (2006-12-13)
Stranger homicide by people with schizophrenia is rare -- and unpredictable
International study led by Sydney researchers shows homicides of strangers by people with schizophrenia are exceptionally rare and unpredictable events. view more (2009-10-12)
NEW RESEARCH SHOWS DRUG IMPROVES CHANCES OF NORMAL LIFE FOR PEOPLE WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA
The atypical schizophrenia drug risperidone improves patients' chances of a normal life by restoring learning capacity and through improving skills acquisition. Whilst traditional antipsychotic drugs can be effective on the better-known symptoms of schizophrenia - hallucinations and delusions - cognitive problems, such as learning difficulties,... view more...

Severe, acute maternal stress linked to the development of schizophrenia
Pregnant women who endure the psychological stress of being in a war zone are more likely to give birth to a child who develops schizophrenia. view more (2008-08-21)
Interaction between gene variants may alter brain function in schizophrenia
A collaborative study led by investigators from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) is giving what may be the first look at how interactions between genes underlie a key symptom of schizophrenia, impaired working memory. view more (2008-11-10)
Hopkins researchers discover new link to schizophrenia
Neuroscientists at Johns Hopkins have discovered that mice lacking an enzyme that contributes to Alzheimer disease exhibit a number of schizophrenia-like behaviors. view more (2008-05-09)

New insight into brain disorders
The function of an enzyme in the brain - strongly linked to a number of major brain diseases such as Alzheimer's, schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder - has been identified for the first time by researchers at the University of Bristol, UK. view more (2007-03-01)
"Acquittal" for Suspected Schizophrenia Gene
Just under one per cent of all Germans suffer from schizophrenia. The susceptibility to contracting this severe psychological disease is inherited; various studies indicate that a gene on chromosome 1 shares responsibility for the outbreak of the disease. However, in what is the biggest control study to date, which is being published in the May... view more... (2002-04-22)
Violence declines with medication use in some with schizophrenia
Some schizophrenia patients become less prone to violence when taking medication, but those with a history of childhood conduct problems continue to pose a higher risk even with treatment, according to a new study by researchers at Duke University Medical Center. view more (2008-07-01)
UCLA study uncovers new risk factor for schizophrenia
UCLA scientists have discovered that infants who possess a specific immune gene that too closely resembles their mothers' are more likely to develop schizophrenia later in life. view more (2006-09-06)
