Schizophrenia Under a Microscope

Schizophrenia Under a Microscope event poster

Schizophrenia generally presents itself in late adolescence but has deep roots in very early brain development. The illness arises from a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors that pose a mystery to neuroscientists. During this talk, we’ll explore schizophrenia at the microscopic level, examine the cellular clues that may help our understanding, and discuss what we might learn about schizophrenia from experiments in a petri dish.

About the speaker:
Ashleigh is a neuroscience PhD student at the University of Glasgow researching the biological underpinnings of schizophrenia.
