Nature Supplement Covers Schizophrenia
|
 |
 |
Nature takes a look at some of the most discussed topics in schizophrenia research in a supplement published April 3. SRF reporter Michele Solis penned the feature on attempts to head off psychosis early, while the other articles cover a range of basic and applied research areas. In addition, Steve Hyman and Steve Marder take on the question of whether we're headed in the right direction in terms of our research |
effort, coming to quite different conclusions. The supplement has open access and contains some interesting video segments, including a visit with artist Sue Morgan, who discusses how she designed the cover based on her own experience with schizophrenia. Image courtesy of Nature Outlook

Forum Discussion: The Future of Imaging Genetics?
|
|
 |
There has been much head-scratching about how to follow up leads about individual risk variants in the genomes of people with schizophrenia. Perhaps there will be more to be gleaned from combinations of genetic polymorphisms. Writing in Schizophrenia Bulletin, an international team led by Stefan Ehrlich of Dresden University of Technology in Germany presents data that a polygenic risk score can be associated with prefrontal inefficiency, as measured
|
by functional magnetic resonance imaging.
In our Forum Discussion "journal club" series, the editors of journals provide access to the full text of a recent article. SRF thanks the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center and Oxford University Press, publishers of Schizophrenia Bulletin, for kindly providing open access to the article for this discussion. Editor Vishwajit Nimgaonkar of the University of Pittsburgh gets us started with a short introduction and some questions, and then it's up to our readers to share their ideas, insights, questions, and reactions.
