Study finds unexpected link between 2 schizophrenia risk proteins
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
Researchers discovered that when the connection isn't made correctly, the behaviour might suffer. In mice, for example, disruptions to the proteins' capacity to interact led to increased hyperactivity, decreased risk avoidance, and memory impairments.
