Cognitive dysfunction is a core aspect of schizophrenia that constitutes a major obstacle toward reintegration of patients into society. Although multiple cognitive deficits are evident in schizophrenia patients, no medication is currently approved for their amelioration. Although consensus clinical test batteries have been developed for the assessment of putative cognition enhancers in patients with schizophrenia, parallel animal tests remain to be validated. Having no approved treatment for cognitive symptoms means no positive control can be used to examine pharmacological predictive validity of animal models. Thus, focus has been placed on animal paradigms that have demonstrable construct validity for the cognitive domain being assessed.
