According to researchers, neuropsychiatric disorders such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia could be a byproduct of evolution.
Researchers report that by increasing the excitability of a subpopulation of hippocampal inhibitory neurons, certain behavioral symptoms associated with schizophrenia can be suppressed.
Researchers have developed a new method to classify the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Traditionally, schizophrenia's symptoms are placed into two categories, but the new study argues this is too simple and suggests using a five category system.
