This week on the podcast, Kody and Kit tackle the latest research when it comes to schizophrenia: Llama antibodies being used to help cognition! That might sound confusing but researchers managed to restore cognitive function in schizophrenia mouse models using a super small antibody called a “nanobody” (which is NOT a robot!) that was derived from llamas! And that’s just part of it!

So, enjoy the episode, and let us know what you think!
