"Researchers have successfully disrupted a genetic chain of events in a mouse model of schizophrenia and reversed memory deficits, one of the disorder's most difficult-to-treat symptoms. This discovery--which builds upon decades of early-stage research--could lead to more effective therapies for the cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia, a psychiatric disorder that affects more than 21 million people worldwide."

How cool is that????!!!

:dance: seems as if they have a piece of the puzzle.
i tried to look up what the protein was on wikipedia and didn't find any useful information.
they stated that the issue was addressed at the early stages, i guess inferring that it might have to be done the same with us.
i had a scan of my brain and they said they didn't find anything.
