"After years of almost stagnant psychopharmalogical research, though, two historic announcements by The Broad Institute on July 22 indicate that we may be at a turning point.

The study, a collaboration between Broad Institute scientists and hundreds of others, identified 108 genes linked to schizophrenia, which might eventually lead to many entirely new, unexplored targets for treatment that would have widespread implications for the direction of research on other mental illnesses. The results were published July 22 in the journal Nature."
