The overarching goal of this database is to serve as an unbiased, centralized, publicly available and regularly updated collection of animal research models that might be useful for researchers studying schizophrenia and related disorders. While we have made every possible effort to include all potentially useful models that have been published, there may be some models that have been inadvertently omitted. We have also made every possible effort to ensure that this information is correct at time of update. If your model is not included, or you would like to add new models or amend those listed here, please contact us.

Schizophrenia Research Forum is much indebted to Jim Koenig, University of Maryland, for his patience and for all the work he has put into developing this table.
