Description
Despite significant achievements in the biological study of schizophrenia, various characteristics of the disorder still need to be explained. This volume brings together the latest findings and expertise of internationally acknowledged experts in biological research on schizophrenia. The contributors detail recent advances in approaches to the disorder, ranging from the application of event-related potential as a psychophysiological means of analyzing schizophrenia as a perception defect to brain imaging and genetic linkage studies. The collection of papers offers a new direction for exploration into possible cures for schizophrenic patients and will be of interest to those concerned with the disorder.
