| Research Abstract |
By investigating similarities and differences between schizophrenia and schizotypal personality in terms of genes and cognition, this study aimed to provide evidence that contributes to elucidating the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. A series of investigations have revealed that schizotypal traits in healthy individuals and those in patients with mood disorder show a cognitive profile similar to the one seen in schizophrenia and that a genetic polymorphism within CACNA1C, a gene that has been shown to be associated with mood disorders and schizophrenia, affects cognition in schizophrenia.
