Research in schizophrenia is undergoing a farreaching qualitative change as novel technologies ranging from neuroimaging to functional genomics are now center-stage, tending to dislodge traditional clinical research and, to some extent, epidemiology. By placing the emerging new visions of schizophrenia research in a historical perspective (including a personal account of the World Health Organisation-led research in the 1980s), the author highlights both the pitfalls and promises of current attempts at understanding schizophrenia and argues for a more dynamic two-way interaction between laboratory scientists and clinicians.
