News Releases. Schizophreniaâs strongest known genetic risk deconstructed. Suspect gene may trigger runaway synaptic pruning during adolescence â NIH-funded study. Versions of a gene linked to schizophrenia may trigger runaway pruning of the teenage brainâs still-maturing communications infrastructure, NIH-funded researchers have discovered.

The cytoplasmic membrane (also called the plasma or cell membrane) in eukaryotic cells, as in prokaryotes, is a fluid phospholipid bilayer embedded with proteins and glycoproteins.2, Fig. 32A, and Fig. 31). The cytoplasmic membrane (also called the plasma or cell membrane) in eukaryotic cells, as in prokaryotes, is a fluid phospholipid bilayer embedded with proteins and glycoproteins.
Phospholipids serve a major function in the cells of all organisms: they form the phospholipid membranes that surround the cell and intracellular organelles such as the mitochondria. The cell membrane is a fluid, semi-permeable bilayer that separates the cell's contents from the environment, see animation below.
