This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The goal of this proposal is to compare adolescents with schizophrenia or ADHD to healthy controls on fine-grained measures of cognitive and motor function and neuroanatomy. Although qualitatively similar to adult-onset schizophrenia, the early-onset form of the disorder is more severe and genetically loaded. Thus, this relatively homogeneous group of patients can make it easier to draw inferences about core impairments in schizophrenia. The result of this direct and detailed comparison between schizophrenia and ADHD can constrain model-building and point to more effective treatment approaches in both disorders.
