They also do genetic modifications on rats to induce SZ in them.

They can change rats genes by injecting the pregnant mother with a gene inside a virus.
Viruses can change our genes. Maybe someday they find a genetic treatment with a viral vector like a genetically engineered virus.
Genes of SZ are too complicated, scientists only found like 20% of SZ genes. They are similar to genes causing other mental illnesses like autism and mental disability.
