Funded Activity Summary

Schizophrenia effects 1-100 Australians and is responsible for $2.2 billion in health costs, disables thought and emotion and is devastating to the individual, the family and the community. We need to develop drugs able to reverse the root cause of schizophrenia. We know that schizophrenia is caused by risk genes and environments and impacts brain maturation. We will test how one such gene, neuregulin, acts to derail the normal development of the human cerebral cortex in patients who suffer.
