Introduction. The continuing goal of cognitive neuropsychiatry will be to shed light on the nature of psychiatric disorders. Methods. We reviewed recently the yield of a variety of experimental approaches, including cognitive studies, of schizophrenia, one of psychiatry's most difficult challenges. Results. We discussed the constraints of contemporary experimental methods which limit our ability to develop an integrated view of the pathological processes that underlie schizophrenia. Conclusions. An integrated model of the underlying nature of major psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, will have to await, among other developments, the union of cognitive experimental methods with imaging techniques with the requisite temporal and spatial resolution, and the capacity to detect changes in brain form and function that reflect accommodations to the disorders.
