TY - JOUR T1 - THis month in archives of general psychiatry Y1 - 2006/07/01 N1 - 10.1001/archpsyc.63.7.714 JO - Archives of General Psychiatry SP - 714 EP - 714 VL - 63 IS - 7 N2 - Ho et alArticle found that the Met allele of a brain-derived neurotrophic factor, possibly through the factor's role in modulating synaptic plasticity, causes a specific cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia. Unlike healthy volunteers, Met allele–carrier patients had greater visuospatial impairment and small gray matter brain volumes in both ventral and dorsal visual pathways than their Val-homozygous counterparts.
