A review of impaired neuroplasticity in schizophrenia investigated with non-invasive brain stimulation

Background: Several lines of evidence implicate dysfunctional neuronal plasticity in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Aberrant glutamatergic and gamma amino-butyric acid neurotransmission are thought to underlie core cognitive deficits and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Non-invasive brain...
