Researchers Link Inflammation to Reduced Motivation and Brain Circuit Changes in Schizophrenia
“This is the first study in schizophrenia to link inflammation with both brain changes in reward circuits and specific motivational symptoms,” says David Goldsmith, MD, MSCR, Associate Professor, Emory. “By identifying a biological mechanism underlying these symptoms, we are closer to developing targeted treatments that could offer real relief to patients.” Goldsmith is a Georgia CTSA Pilot Grant recipient, MSCR graduate, and former KL2 Scholar.
