New research led by researchers from Penn State University was published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry. They reported that a gene linked to schizophrenia risk regulated early neurodevelopment. This gene played a role in the translation of proteins from RNA and proliferation and migration of neurons in the brain. Thus, understanding its function may help in the development of effective treatment for schizophrenia.
