Second-generation antipsychotic medications appear to offer little advantage over older drugs
Among patients with schizophrenia whose medication is changed because of ineffectiveness or harmful side effects, second-generation antipsychotic drugs do not appear to offer significant benefits compared to first-generation antipsychotic drugs. view more (2006-10-03)
Restrictive drug policies often cause schizophrenic patients to discontinue medication
Policies requiring authorization before physicians can prescribe newer medications to schizophrenic patients may be counter-productive. According to a new study, patients in Maine's Medicaid program who found themselves in this situation were 29% more likely to stop or disrupt medication use than patients not subject to the policy. view more (2008-04-01)
Brain networks strengthened by closing ion channels
Yale School of Medicine and University of Crete School of Medicine researchers report in Cell April 20 the first evidence of a molecular mechanism that dynamically alters the strength of higher brain network connections. view more (2007-04-23)
New anti-psychotic drugs no better than older, cheaper ones
A study led by The University of Manchester's Division of Psychiatry has found that schizophrenia patients respond just as well-and perhaps even better-to older psychiatric drugs as newer, costlier alternatives. view more (2006-12-05)
Knowing how ketamine impairs brain circuitry may lead to new therapies for schizophrenia
Scientists know that the drug ketamine - street name "Special K" - can induce schizophrenia-like symptoms in drug abusers. Ketamine is also used as an anesthetic and, more recently, as an antidepressant - raising concerns by researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine, who have found that ketamine... view more...

Study raises new treatment possibilities for cognitive disorders
UC Irvine researchers have identified a new class of compounds that could be used for drugs to treat cognitive disorders that accompany schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease and ADHD. view more (2007-05-02)
New studies on cancer and schizophrenia, depression and heart disease, trauma and autism
The 2007 American College of Neuropsychopharmacology Annual Meeting will feature hundreds of new studies on brain and behavior from the world's leading scientists. Presentations include innovative research on potential new treatments for depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, autism and addiction. view more (2007-12-11)
Manchester academic to tell conferences: Child abuse can cause schizophrenia
University of Manchester researcher Paul Hammersley is to tell two international conferences, in London and Madrid on 14 June 2006, that child abuse can cause schizophrenia. view more (2006-06-14)

Chemical maps hint at drug's effects on schizophrenia
Antipsychotic drugs do most of their work in the brain, but they also leave behind in the bloodstream a trail of hundreds of chemicals that may be used in the future to direct better treatment for schizophrenia and other psychiatric conditions, say Duke University Medical Center researchers. view more (2007-05-15)
Study evaluates the effectiveness of Aripiprazole in adolescents with schizophrenia
In a six-week study in adolescents (13-17 years old) with schizophrenia, the Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE: BMY) atypical antipsychotic aripiprazole demonstrated significant improvement compared to placebo on the primary efficacy endpoint, Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score. view more (2007-05-24)
Genetic variant impairs communication within the brain
For some time now it has been known that certain hereditary factors enhance the risk of schizophrenia or a manic-depressive disorder. view more (2009-05-01)
Flow of potassium into cells implicated in schizophrenia
A study on schizophrenia has implicated machinery that maintains the flow of potassium in cells and revealed a potential molecular target for new treatments. view more (2009-05-06)
Brainy robot breaks new ground in Parkinson's research
Researchers at the University of Sheffield have successfully built a 'brain-bot' that could lead to a breakthrough in our understanding of illnesses such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, schizophrenia and Tourette's syndrome. Brain-bots are robots that are part-controlled by computer models of circuits in the human brain and they can... view more... (2003-04-16)
Disruption of gene interaction linked to schizophrenia
Disruption of the normal interaction between the genes PRODH and COMT contributes directly to major symptoms of schizophrenia by upsetting the balance of the brain chemicals glutamate and dopamine. view more (2005-12-02)
Schizophrenia-linked gene keeps new adult brain cells under control
A gene with reported links to schizophrenia and other mood disorders plays a broader role in the brain than scientists had previously suspected. view more (2007-09-07)
Map of your brain may reveal early mental illness
John Csernansky wants to take your measurements. Not the circumference of your chest, waist and hips. No, this doctor wants to stretch a tape measure around your hippocampus, thalamus and prefrontal cortex. view more (2009-07-09)
Decoding Funny Faces to Detect Disease
Like Russell Crowe's character in A Beautiful Mind, life is often difficult for the 2.4 million Americans with schizophrenia. A late or incorrect diagnosis and the lack of effective treatment options can destroy a sufferer's quality of life. view more (2009-02-05)
UCLA scientists report promising new molecular approach to fighting schizophrenia
In new research that helps to reveal the nature of schizophrenia at the cellular level, UCLA scientists report the discovery of unique DNA sequence variations associated with increased risk for schizophrenia. view more (2005-11-17)
