The discovery that lithium treatment at blastula stages can induce axis formation suggested that it might act by respecifying the cytoplasmic rearrangement-generated dorsoventral pattern, so that ventral cells behave like their dorsal counterparts. We have studied the effects of Li treatment on the spatial layout of the cell-group movements of gastrulation to see whether this is the case. We fi...

Clinicians are aware of the increased risk of relapse related to antipsychotic nonadherence/discontinuation, and current practice dictates continuous antipsychotic exposure with the goal of achieving steady...
