Science From Sunny San Diego
|
 |
 |
The Society for Neuroscience's annual meeting ran from November 9-13 in San Diego, California, and the 30,000 attendees enjoyed balmy weather throughout. The Schizophrenia Social on Monday night was attended by more than 100 neuroscientists—perhaps we intrigued a few more basic researchers with the puzzle of understanding and treating schizophrenia |
(see Allison Curley's snapshots from the Social and the conference). We bring you meeting reports on some of the science relevant to schizophrenia.

GWAS Stirs the Chowder Pot at WCPG
|
|
 The Zakim Bridge,
Boston, Massachusetts |
The most prominent theme at the recent 2013 World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics in Boston might be paraphrased, Here's a chowder pot full of GWAS hits … please give us money to make an even bigger one! There were some data on rare variants, though fewer than expected, and a lot of exciting talks showing
new technologies that could prove useful to understanding and treating mental illness. We |
invite you to read the meeting reports submitted by SRF reporters Allison Curley and Michele Solis. Image courtesy of Wikimedia Commons
