These studies are also relevant to the mechanisms through which antipsychotics reduce the symptoms of psychosis since it was shown that schizophrenia is characterized by deficits in neuronal growth and connectivity [91], and genes associated with schizophrenia, such as disrupted in schizophrenia 1 (DISC1), are known to play significant roles in neurite growth. The gene discussed is DISC1; the disease is psychotic disorder.
