1)Provide evidence for the hereditary nature of schizophrenia. Why do researchers believe the candidate gene DISC1 contributes to the risk for developing schizophrenia?

2)What evidence exists to suggest there are developmental errors early in the life of a patient? At adolescence? How is that evidence incorporated into the “two-hit” model?

3)Describe each of the following animal models: amphetamine-induced stereotypy, hypoglutamate model, vacuous chewing movements test, attentional set shifting, prepulse inhibition of startle, prenatal inflammation, and genetic models.
