INTRODUCTION The cerebral cortex underlies our complex cognitive capabilities.
Variations in human cortical surface area and thickness are associated with neurological, …

Neuroligin (NLG), a postsynaptic adhesion molecule, is involved in the formation of synapses
by binding to a cognate presynaptic ligand, neurexin. Here we report that neuroligin-1 (…

Aim The hippocampus is considered a key region in schizophrenia pathophysiology, but the
nature of hippocampal subregion abnormalities and how they contribute to disease …

Accumulating evidence points to the association of epilepsy, particularly, temporal lobe
epilepsy (TLE), with psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia. Among these illnesses, the …

BackgroundSchizophrenia is associated with robust hippocampal volume deficits but subregion
volume deficits, their associations with cognition, and contributing genes remain to be …

This study assessed genetic contributions to six cognitive domains, identified by the MATRICS
Cognitive Consensus Battery as relevant for schizophrenia, cognition-enhancing, clinical …

Proper axonal targeting is fundamental to the establishment of functional neural circuits. The
hippocampal mossy fibres normally project towards the CA3 region. In the hippocampi of …

Individuals with schizophrenia (SZ) show aberrant activations, assessed via functional
magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), during auditory oddball tasks. However, associations with …

Recent evidence indicates that alpha-isoform of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein
kinase II (α-CaMKII) deficiency in adult mice induces phenotypic immaturity of dentate granule …
