精神分裂症是一种严重的精神障碍，主要发生在年轻人身上，并导致相当一部分患者终身残疾。另一方面，关于其病因和发病机制的实质性知识仍然缺乏。因此，欧洲科学基金会（ESF）主办了一次关于精神分裂症研究的欧洲专家小组会议，讨论这一领域关键主题的最新进展和未来前景。这些领域包括遗传学、流行病学、动物模型、分子神经病理学和成像。这是建立致力于精神分裂症研究的欧洲团体网络的第一步。框架计划的未来呼吁将用于加强这一网络，以便在理解和治疗这一毁灭性疾病方面取得实质性进展。(c)2008年由Elsevier Masson SAS出版。
Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder striking mainly young adults and leading to life-long disability in a substantial portion of the sufferers. On the other hand, substantial knowledge about its etiology and pathogenesis is still lacking. Therefore the European Science Foundation (ESF) sponsored a meeting of a panel of European experts on schizophrenia research to discuss the state of art and future perspectives of key topics in this area. The fields covered genetics, epidemiology, animal models, molecular neuropathology and imaging. This was a first step to establish a network of European groups dedicated to Schizophrenia research. The coming calls of the frame work program will be used to strengthen this network in order to achieve substantial progress in understanding and treating this devastating illness.
