TLDR
Proteins and phospho-proteins comprising mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) and 3′–5′-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-associated signaling pathways may be abnormally expressed in the anterior cingulate (ACC) and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in schizophrenia.

Glutamate and dopamine in schizophrenia: an update for the 21st century

TL;DR: This review provides an update on the latest findings on dopamine and glutamate abnormalities in schizophrenia, focusing on in vivo neuroimaging studies in patients and clinical high-risk groups, and considers their implications for understanding the biology and treatment of schizophrenia.

Activation and signaling of the p38 MAP kinase pathway

TylerZARUBIN, +1 more
TL;DR: The role of p38 as a signal transduction mediator is focused on and the evidence linking p38 to inflammation, cell cycle, cell death, development, cell differentiation, senescence and tumorigenesis in specific cell types is examined.

Prefrontal Cortical Dendritic Spine Pathology in Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder

TL;DR: Dendritic spine loss in the DLPFC was seen in both individuals with schizophrenia and individuals with bipolar disorder, suggesting that the 2 disorders may share some common pathophysiological features.

NMDA hypofunction as a convergence point for progression and symptoms of schizophrenia

TL;DR: How disrupted NMDAR function leads to altered neurodevelopment that may contribute to the progression and development of symptoms for schizophrenia, particularly cognitive deficits is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synaptic loss in schizophrenia: a meta-analysis and systematic review of synaptic protein and mRNA measures.

TL;DR: Findings of moderate–large reductions in synaptophysin in hippocampus and frontal cortical regions, and a tendency for reductions in other pre- and postsynaptic proteins in the hippocampus are consistent with models that implicate synaptic loss in schizophrenia, but they also identify potential differences between regions and proteins, suggesting synaptic loss is not uniform in nature or extent.

Extrasynaptic NMDARs oppose synaptic NMDARs by triggering CREB shut-off and cell death pathways

TL;DR: It is reported that synaptic and extrasynaptic NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors have opposite effects on CREB (cAMP response element binding protein) function, gene regulation and neuron survival.

Signal transduction by the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)--from inflammation to development.

TL;DR: The c-Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK) group of MAP kinases has been identified in mammals and insects as discussed by the authors, indicating that this signaling pathway may contribute to inflammatory responses.
