The adult brain is a plastic place. To ensure that the mature nervous system's control of
behaviour is flexible in the face of a varying environment, morphological and physiological …

Schizophrenia is a highly debilitating mental disorder that affects∼ 1% of the general

The N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) hypofunction hypothesis has been proposed to
help understand the etiology and pathophysiology of schizophrenia. This hypothesis was …

The incidence of melanoma is increasing more than any other cancer, and knowledge of its
genetic alterations is limited. To systematically analyze such alterations, we performed …

Recent molecular genetics studies implicate neuregulin 1 (NRG1) and its receptor erbB in
