Characterising and modulating corticostriatal connectivity in schizophrenia. [ 2014 - 2017 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Nigel Rogasch (Principal investigator)

Brief description Schizophrenia is a devastating mental illness that affects approximately 0.5-1% of the population. Many of the symptoms of schizophrenia, such as problems with memory and motivation, remain untreatable. This project will explore the brain processes that underlie memory deficits in people with schizophrenia and investigate the use of non-invasive brain stimulation to improve these impairments. The results from this study will hopefully lead to new treatments for people with schizophrenia.
