The ability to do so lies at the heart of the attention problem in schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders.

According to study author Larry Young of the department of psychiatry at Emory University this is the first study to demonstrate that variation in the oxytocin receptor gene influences face recognition skills.
He and colleagues point out the implication that oxytocin plays an important role in promoting our ability to recognize one another yet about one-third of the population possesses only the genetic variant that negatively impacts that ability.

The researchers are also working on using this approach to precisely deliver drugs to very small regions of the brain in hopes of developing better treatments for psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders.
The Broad Institute today announced an unprecedented commitment of $650 million from philanthropist Ted Stanley aimed at galvanizing scientific research on psychiatric disorders and bringing new treatments based on molecular understanding to hundreds
The Stanley commitment the largest ever in psychiatric research and among the largest for scientific research in general will support research by a collaborative network of researchers within the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at the Broad Institute a biomedical research institution
Stanley s new commitment is the culmination of a 25-year personal mission to discover the biology of psychiatric disorders
and assembled the world s largest collection of DNA samples in psychiatric research currently more than 175000 samples including schizophrenia bipolar disorder autism attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and healthy control samples.
He wanted to set psychiatric research on the same path. Scolnick vividly remembers the moment he and the Stanleys joined forces.
The Stanleys had given many small grants to support psychiatric research through their foundation but Scolnick argued for the importance of critical mass
Thus the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at the Broad was launched in 2007 with Scolnick as its founding director.
Before taking that post Hyman a psychiatrist had served as head of NIMH from 1996 to 2001.
When Hyman left the NIMH in 2001 to become provost of Harvard he had lost almost completely hope that true progress could be made in his lifetime in elucidating the mechanisms of psychiatric illness.
and Harvard in 2004 and over time became encouraged by the Broad s progress in the molecular understanding of psychiatric disorders.
Ten years ago finding the biological causes of psychiatric disorders was like trying to climb a wall with no footholds says Hyman who Is distinguished also the Service Professor of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology at Harvard.

Complete the list of all genes that play roles in severe psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia bipolar disorder autism and others.
when and how these genes act in human brain cells and how in psychiatric patients those processes may go awry.
In contrast to researchers studying cancer or diabetes researchers studying psychiatric disorders have been unable to identify animal models that correctly capture important biological aspects of the disorders
Now with growing knowledge of the genes underlying psychiatric disorders Broad researchers plan to create cellular models in the laboratory
and screen hundreds of thousands of compounds to identify molecules that can powerfully and precisely influence specific biological pathways relevant to psychiatric disorders.
I d be bold enough to say that in five years all the drug companies that got out of psychiatric research will be getting back in.
The coming decades of psychiatric research will yield new science and a needed parallel effort to increase resources for services that can help patients and their families.
About the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research The mission of the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at the Broad Institute is to reduce the burden of serious mental illness through research.
Stanley Center researchers focus on schizophrenia bipolar disorder autism attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and other neuropsychiatric disorders.

These results are published in the journal Translational Psychiatry in the online issue of 7 october 2014.
Despite various psychiatric genetic and neurobiological studies the molecular mechanism responsible for these disorders remains mysterious.
schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders are caused illnesses by genes. Now teams of scientists from research centers around the world, looking at the genetics of nearly 80,000 people, have worked together to identify 108 genetic loci associated with the disorder.
It is the largest genetic study ever conducted of a psychiatric disorder. Researchers are finally beginning to gain some scientific understanding of many common brain disorders,
we didn know a single gene related to these psychiatric diseases, not a single pathway, said Eric Lander, Broad director.
It was echoed a perspective by Steven Hyman, director of Broad Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research:
