<title>NIH Scientists Identify Link Between Brain Systems Implicated in Schizophrenia</title>
<link>http://www.nih.gov/news/health/oct2008/nichd-06.htm</link>
<description><![CDATA[Scientists at the National Institutes of Health have deciphered the complex relationship between three distinct brain circuits implicated in schizophrenia. The researchers determined that one brain circuit acts through an intermediary brain circuit. The intermediary circuit acts like a volume control knob, turning up the electrical activity of still another brain circuit, or turning it down. The finding suggests that schizophrenia could result from a malfunction anywhere in the link between these three brain circuits.]]></description>
