Abstract
A structured approach is used to review the rapid progress in neurobiology related to treatment response in schizophrenia. Findings are presented and discussed according to the molecular, cellular and regional levels of brain organization. The genotype-phenotype structure is used to consider potential interactions between genes, clinical manifestations of the illness and treatment response. The integration of neurobiological research into the future development of new treatment strategies for schizophrenia holds significant promise.
