(2007-11-27)
Cognitive deficits are the single strongest predictor of functional outcome in patients with schizophrenia. Furthermore, these deficits are not satisfactorily alleviated by available antipsychotic treatment. Functional ...
The prefrontal cortex and information processing : nitric oxide signaling studied in an animal model of schizophrenia
(2008-11-28)
The prefrontal cortex has been extensively linked to several cognitive domains that are severely compromised in schizophrenia. It has therefore become a key region for studies on the disabling cognitive dysfunction commonly ...
Helicobacter pylori associated effects on inflammatory radical formation and angiotensin II receptors in the stomach
(2007-10-22)
