PRISM PROJECT

PRISM is an EU-funded project thats aims to develop a quantitative biological approach to the understanding and treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases... Many behavioural phenomena and symptoms are common across psychiatric and neurological disorders. Social withdrawal for example is one of the earliest symptoms seen in patients with Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia or major depression and is discussed as an early indicator of cognitive deficits. It is recognized by patients pulling away from their social networks established in work places and friendship circles. PRISM aims to understand better the biological reasons underlying social withdrawal and cognitive deficits to accelerate the development of new treatments for these neuropsychiatric disorders.
