Using CANTAB to understand more about depth of anaesthesia and post-operative cognitive dysfunction
We caught up with Anders Aasheim from Oslo University Hospital who told us more about his team’s research in understanding the effect of anaesthesia on cognitive function.
Three ways you can design better drug trials for schizophrenia therapeutics
To date, no effective drugs have been developed to address cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia. Here we will highlight the three main methodological challenges which may be contributing to these high failure rates, and propose potential practical solutions to these problems.
