Funded Activity Summary

Schizophrenia is characterised by problems with social cognition. These problems are associated with an increased risk of low educational attainment, unemployment, homelessness, social isolation, and reduced quality of life. This project will determine whether a novel biological intervention, Oxytocin, improves social interaction behaviour skills in schizophrenia. This project, therefore, represents a critical first step in developing a new treatment for schizophrenia.
