TASK
Discuss novel potential treatments for schizophrenia. Hint: you can “borrow” approaches in any area. It could not be tested for schizophrenia yet. You need to justify your proposal.
There is ongoing research into new treatments for schizophrenia. One promising area of research is the use of glutamate modulators, which work by regulating the activity of glutamate, a neurotransmitter involved in learning and memory. Other emerging treatments include transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and deep brain stimulation (DBS), which involve the use of magnetic or electrical stimulation to specific areas of the brain to improve symptoms of schizophrenia.
