Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Dopamine in Schizophrenia from a Neurobiological and Evolutionary Perspective: Old Fashioned, but Still in Vogue
Ralf Brisch,Arthur Saniotis,Arthur Saniotis,Rainer Wolf,Hendrik Bielau,Hans-Gert Bernstein,Johann Steiner,Bernhard Bogerts,Katharina Braun,Zbigniew Jankowski,Jaliya Kumaratilake,Maciej Henneberg,Tomasz Gos +12 more
TL;DR: The roles of dopamine in the evolution of the human brain and human mental abilities, which are affected in schizophrenia patients, are discussed and the antipsychotic effects of treatments targeting them are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microglial activation in a neuroinflammational animal model of schizophrenia — a pilot study
TL;DR: The hypothesis that maternal infection during embryogenesis contributes to microglial activation in the offspring may therefore represent a contributing factor to the pathogenesis of schizophrenia and underlines the need for new pharmacological treatment options in this regard.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dopamine and serotonin levels following prenatal viral infection in mouse—Implications for psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and autism
Christine Winter,Teri J. Reutiman,Timothy D. Folsom,Reinhard Sohr,Rainer Wolf,Georg Juckel,Georg Juckel,S. Hossein Fatemi +7 more
TL;DR: The present study shows that the serotonergic system is disrupted following prenatal viral infection, potentially modelling disruptions that occur in patients with schizophrenia and autism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loudness Dependence of Auditory Evoked Potentials as Indicator of Central Serotonergic Neurotransmission: Simultaneous Electrophysiological Recordings and In Vivo Microdialysis in the Rat Primary Auditory Cortex
Alexander Wutzler,Christine Winter,Werner Kitzrow,Idun Uhl,Rainer Wolf,Andreas Heinz,Georg Juckel,Georg Juckel +7 more
TL;DR: The data support the view that the LDAEP is closely modulated by cortical serotonergic activity, and might serve as an inversely related marker of synaptically released serotonin in the CNS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Region-specific alteration of GABAergic markers in the brain of heterozygous reeler mice.
Sven Nullmeier,Patricia Panther,Henrik Dobrowolny,Michael Frotscher,Shanting Zhao,Herbert Schwegler,Rainer Wolf +6 more
TL;DR: Results support a hippocampal γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic dysfunction in HRM as previously described by other authors, and may be based on a downregulation of GAD67 and PARV expressions.
