Finding a possible new way to treat schizophrenia

I found the Focus Trainer android app excellent for restoring my ability to concentrate. It takes a year of half an hour daily training for it to work well though.

Maness’s work is titled “The Antipsychotic Potential of Orexin Receptor Inhibitors for the Treatment of Schizophrenia.” It examines the potential of various experimental compounds to restore attentional function in rodent models of psychosis.

Specifically, she targeted the brain’s lateral hypothalamic orexinergic system, which acts as a gatekeeper for several neurotransmitter networks, with the goal of finding a new treatment for schizophrenia.

She was using direct infusions to the brain, but if this goes any further they will probably have to figure outhow to use a pill or other method.
