People who take Ritalin are far more aware of their mistakes, new research shows. Low performance error awareness has been…
A quarter of the risk for developing schizophrenia can be traced to genetic variations that are common in the general population, a study by Queensland researchers has found. A new method of genetic analysis…
A new method for examining genetic information has shown that genetic variations associated with schizophrenia are common…
Researchers at the University of Cardiff have discovered some of the genetic underpinnings of schizophrenia. DNA from 650…
One of the world’s largest schizophrenia studies ever has pinpointed five new genetic blips linked to the condition, paving the way for new drugs and management strategies, researchers said. Schizophrenia…
