Dept. Of I'll Believe It When I See It

Researchers now claim that they have developed a mouse model of schizophrenia, which is to say they have genetically altered and cross-bred mice until they have one whose brain can mimic dopamine receptor imbalances. I've been listening to researchers explain how they have animal models of this and that ailment for the last 10 years. Sadly, very few cures and novel drug therapies that are seamless have resulted for a host of illnesses. So I'll stay in Missouri on this one. Besides, it assumes that genetics alone explain schizophrenia and I'm just not concvinced that tweaking receptors is on its own the answer. Part of it, sure, but not the whole ball of wax. I'll be happy to be proved wrong, however.
