Please please let this idea about how we'll develop new treatments for psychiatric disorders be the next casualty! (Find *a* gene; make a mouse; create a drug; voilà!). Neuroscience, Exploring the Brain, Fig 22.2
Shows the plan for molecular medicine: gene discovery > mouse disease model > disease pathophysiology > drug development > clinical trials.
