  1. Parvalbumin-Containing Neurons in Schizophrenia
    TSUNG UNG WOO; Fiscal Year: 2006
    ..Together, these experiments may provide conceptually novel insight into how neurocognitive deficits of SCZ could potentially be corrected by re-calibration of PV neuronal activities. ..
  2. Parvalbumin-Containing Neurons in Schizophrenia
    Tsung Ung W Woo; Fiscal Year: 2010
    ..Findings of the proposed studies are expected to shed light on the conceptualization of treatment and prevention strategies that aim at fundamentally correcting the underlying neural circuit deficits. ..
