The progresses in psychiatric research and prospects for their translation
摘要:Mental illness adversely affects the advanced functions of the human brain.The anomalies in feelings,perceptions,thinking,and actions of subjects not only distort the patterns of their behaviors,but also distress family members and relatives of patients.Overcoming mental disorders is difficult for psychiatrists alone;it also requires experimental research by neuroscientists and the translation of experimental results into clinical practice.This article will briefly comment on the recent advances in psychiatric research and look ahead their translation to clinical practice.The focus of it will be on the clinical and experimental evidence supporting the new hypothesis that schizophrenia involves oligodendrocyte deficits.It will conclude with a view that altered oligodendrocytes should be one of the targets in the treatment of schizophrenia.
