Video: Neurons Firing in Healthy Mice Vs. Two Mouse Models of Schizophrenia (VIDEO)

Columbia University

Caption

In the first pair of videos, the neurons of mice given the anesthetic ketamine to induce signs of schizophrenia fired-off haphazardly (right), compared to the coordinated firing of neurons in the healthy mice (left). Researchers saw a similar pattern in mice genetically engineered to show signs of schizophrenia, with the neurons at right firing more intermittently.
