Pathway-Specific Dopamine Abnormalities in Schizophrenia.

TLDR
The dopaminergic innervation within the individual projection fields is discussed to provide a topographical map of this dual dysregulation in schizophrenia and potential cellular and circuit-based mechanisms for brain region-dependent alterations in dopamine parameters are explored.

The Role of Genes, Stress, and Dopamine in the Development of Schizophrenia.

TL;DR: A model is presented of how genes and environmental factors may sensitize the dopamine system so that it is vulnerable to acute stress, leading to progressive dysregulation and the onset of psychosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antipsychotics: Mechanisms underlying clinical response and side-effects and novel treatment approaches based on pathophysiology.

TL;DR: Elevated striatal dopamine synthesis and release capacity in dorsal regions of the striatum underlies the positive symptoms of psychosis and suggests reduced dopamine release in cortical regions contributes to cognitive and negative symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

One-pot synthesis of Au-Cu2O/rGO nanocomposite based electrochemical sensor for selective and simultaneous detection of dopamine and uric acid

TL;DR: In this article, an electrochemical sensor based on an Au-Cu2O/rGO nanocomposite for selective and simultaneous detection of dopamine and uric acid was developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The origin of NMDA receptor hypofunction in schizophrenia

TL;DR: The studies discussed here support a central role for GABAergic abnormalities in the context of NMDAR hypofunction and suggest potential therapeutic strategies to improve the function of fast-spiking neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Perceptual Inference Mechanism for Hallucinations Linked to Striatal Dopamine

TL;DR: A novel dopamine-dependent mechanism for perceptual modulation in physiological conditions is outlined and it is suggested that this mechanism may confer vulnerability to hallucinations in hyper-dopaminergic states underlying psychosis.

The reward circuit: linking primate anatomy and human imaging.

TL;DR: It is shown that human functional and structural imaging results map increasingly close to primate anatomy, and advances in neuroimaging techniques allow better spatial and temporal resolution.

Getting Formal with Dopamine and Reward

TL;DR: Recent neurophysiological studies reveal that neurons in certain brain structures carry specific signals about past and future rewards, and the optimal use of rewards in voluntary behavior would benefit from interactions between the signals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dopamine in Schizophrenia: A Review and Reconceptualization

TL;DR: The authors hypothesize that schizophrenia is characterized by abnormally low prefrontal dopamine activity leading to excessive dopamine activity in mesolimbic dopamine neurons (causing positive symptoms) and has important implications for treatment of schizophrenia and schizophrenia spectrum disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antipsychotic drug doses and neuroleptic/dopamine receptors

TL;DR: It is reported here that all clinically effective antipsychotic drugs (tested so far) block the stereo-specific binding of 3H-haloperidol at concentrations which correlate directly with the clinical potencies.
