Description: Consortium that will develop new models and methods to enable novel treatments for schizophrenia and depression including three important missing tools that will facilitate the translation of scientific findings into benefits for patients. The project will focus on developing new animal models which use brain recording and behavioral tests to identify innovative and effective drugs for schizophrenia. The project will develop standardized paradigms, acquisition and analysis techniques to apply brain imaging, especially fMRI and PET imaging to drug development. It will examine how new genetic findings (duplication and deletion or changes in genes) influence the response to various drugs and whether this information can be used to choose the right drug for the right patient. And finally, it will try and develop new approaches for shorter and more efficient trials of new medication - trials that may require fewer patients and give faster results.
