The HUBIN projects- a plan for optimization
According
to McNeil, the best strategy for future research on the etiology
and pathophysiology of schizophrenia is to study both hereditary
factors and a wide spectrum of environmental factors in the same
group of patients. The brain function and structure of these patients
should also be characterized by state-of-the-art methods. The HUBIN
projects offer such possibilities.
Since year 2000 McNeil is responsible for the HUBIN-consortium
investigations of
- Obstetric Complications together with dr Pontus Strålin,
- Minor Physical Anomalies, and
- Neurological Abnormality, Tardive Dyskinesia, Parkinsonism.
He is also developing a broader program for investigation of environmental
factors in different HUBIN-samples.
