Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Recent work shows promising associations between schizophrenia and polymorphisms in neuregulin-1 (NRG1) and a large literature also finds strong familial relationships between schizophrenia and cognitive deficits. Given the role of NRG1 in glutamate regulation and glutamate's effect on cognition, we hypothesized that cognitive deficits may be related to variation within NRG1, providing a possible...
