Schizophrenia Social 2008

The Schizophrenia Social at the Neuroscience 2008 meeting featured a stimulating lecture by Tony Grace of the University of Pittsburgh, The Anatomy of Schizophrenia, A Basic Scientist's Perspective, followed by delicious food and drink. A good time was had by all! For this we thank the sponsors—in addition to organizers Hakon Heimer and Nico Stanculescu of the Schizophrenia Research Forum, we salute NARSAD, The Stanley Center for Cognitive Genomics at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and the National Institute of Mental Health.

Watch a short slide show from the Social.
