Description Schizophrenia is a severe brain disorder that affects 1% of the population. Its cause is due to the interaction of a number of abnormal
genes with environmental factors. This book summarizes new advances schizophrenia research that focus on the field of neural and synaptic
plasticity. Synapses in the brain in schizophrenia show a wide range of disorders, both structural and functional. This volume covers
the most active and promising of these new developments, and opens up new avenues for the treatment of schizophrenia.
