Studies on [3H]CP-55940 binding in the human central nervous system: regional specific changes in density of cannabinoid-1 receptors associated with schizophrenia and cannabis use.

TL;DR: Data indicate that there are changes in cannabinoid-1 receptors in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex that may prove to be associated with the pathology of schizophrenia, and changes in the density of cannabinoid- 1 receptors may occur in the caudate-putamen in response to cannabis ingestion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ionotropic glutamate receptors and expression of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunits in subregions of human hippocampus: effects of schizophrenia.

TL;DR: Because the NR1 subunit of theNMDA receptor is critical to full receptor activity, a reduction of NR1 in hippocampus in schizophrenia suggests a functional impairment in glutamatergic transmission at the NMDA receptor, resulting in reduced glutamatership transmission within and possibly efferent from the hippocampus in schizophrenic patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards a muscarinic hypothesis of schizophrenia

TL;DR: Evidence is focused on evidence that supports the hypothesis that the muscarinic system is involved in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia and thatmuscarinic receptors may represent promising novel targets for the treatment of this disorder.
