Ongoing studies involve a range of molecular and neuroanatomical techniques. These projects are part of a multi-disciplinary Center focused on the neurobiological basis for cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia. Fellows will work in a highly interactive community of neuroscientists from several departments at the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. W1650 BST, Pittsburgh, PA 15213. Particular emphasis is placed on early postnatal and adolescence-related maturational processes and the role that these events play in the emergence and refinement of cognitive and social behavior.
