Investigating The Neural Basis Of Memory Impairments In Schizophrenia
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$82,920.00
Summary
The memory deficits experienced by people with schizophrenia are one of the most disabling symptoms associated with the illness. Taking this into consideration, this proposal will address two key research questions: (1) what regions of the brain are involved in the long-term memory problems in schizophrenia; (2) whether administering the drug ketamine to healthy individuals produces the same changes in brain activation as those observed in schizophrenia patients.
