Abstract excerpt
Regulator of G-protein signaling 4 (RGS4) modulates postsynaptic signal transduction by affecting the kinetics of G alpha-GTP binding. Linkage, association, and postmortem studies have implicated the gene encoding RGS4 (RGS4) as a schizophrenia susceptibility factor. Using a multimodal neuroimaging approach, we demonstrate that genetic variation in RGS4 is associated with functional activation and connectivity...
