Palmitoylethanolamide as an intervention for preventing schizophrenia in a maternal immune activation rodent model

The major problem with intervention for schizophrenia is the inability to treat all symptom categories (positive, negative, and cognitive) sufficiently. The need to test new novel therapies is crucial, which may prevent the onset of this debilitating disorder. Since intervention is limited to individuals at high risk, researchers have turned to animal models to test […]
