Abstract
In this issue of Neuron, Clapcote et al. examine mice containing missense mutations of the DISC1 gene, a locus associated with major mental illness in at least one large Scottish family. Genetic manipulation of mouse homologs of genes implicated in the etiology of psychiatric disorders is a promising avenue of research, but also one that is fraught with interpretative difficulties.
