LONDON: A "brain training" iPad game developed in Britain may improve the memory of patients with schizophrenia, helping them in their daily lives at home and at work, researchers said. 

Scientists at Cambridge University said tests on a small number of patients who played the game over four weeks found they had improvements in memory and learning.
