Cognitive deficits are major disabling impairments associated with autism and schizophrenia. Because theunderlying genetic and cellular mechanisms of such deficits are still poorly understood, mechanism-basedtherapeutic options do not exist, limiting the effective integration of patients into society. Previous clinical workhas shown that executive functions such as working memory and cognitive flexibility start to lag behind fromadolescence to adulthood in individuals with autism and schizophrenia.
