Further link identified between autoimmunity and schizophrenia

Links have been reported between schizophrenia and proteins produced by the immune system that can act against one’s own body, known as autoantibodies. Researchers have now identified autoantibodies that target a ‘synaptic adhesion protein’ in a subset of patients with schizophrenia. When injected into mice, the autoantibodies caused many schizophrenia-related changes.
