There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Schizophrenia simulator's makers

Zhen Qi and Eberhard Voit collected and mined data on a major schizophrenia impairment from some 50 labs around the world. They unified the data, applied differential equations and programmed a simulator to mimic the brain chemistry behind it. The simulator is so accurate, it can predict experimental outcomes and may prove useful in the search for treatments.
