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

TLDR
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.

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.

The Role of Trauma and Stressful Life Events among Individuals at Clinical High Risk for Psychosis: A Review.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the current emerging literature on trauma and adverse life events in the CHR population is provided, addressing etiological questions that cannot be answered in studies of fully psychotic or non-clinical populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synaptic density marker SV2A is reduced in schizophrenia patients and unaffected by antipsychotics in rats.

TL;DR: It is shown for the first time in vivo that levels of the synaptic marker protein SV2A are reduced in schizophrenia and unaffected by antipsychotic treatment in a rat model, indicating that there are lower synaptic terminal protein levels in schizophrenia in vivo and that antipsychotics exposure is unlikely to account for them.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrochemical detection of dopamine using periodic cylindrical gold nanoelectrode arrays

TL;DR: The developed dopamine sensing platform CAuNE can be used for many applications including early diagnosis of neurological diseases; function tests of dopaminergic neurons derived from various stem cell sources; and toxicity assessments of drugs, chemicals, and nanomaterials on human neuronal cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dopamine and Noradrenaline in the Brain; Overlapping or Dissociate Functions?

TL;DR: It is suggested that DA and NA may function in parallel to facilitate learning and maintain the states required for normal cognitive processes.

TL;DR: Associations at DRD2 and several genes involved in glutamatergic neurotransmission highlight molecules of known and potential therapeutic relevance to schizophrenia, and are consistent with leading pathophysiological hypotheses.

KEGG as a reference resource for gene and protein annotation

TL;DR: The KEGG GENES database now includes viruses, plasmids, and the addendum category for functionally characterized proteins that are not represented in complete genomes, and new automatic annotation servers, BlastKOalA and GhostKOALA, are made available utilizing the non-redundant pangenome data set generated from theGENES database.

Clozapine for the treatment-resistant schizophrenic. A double-blind comparison with chlorpromazine

TL;DR: In this relatively brief study, the apparently increased comparative risk of agranulocytosis requires that the use of clozapine be limited to selected treatment-resistant patients.

The NHGRI GWAS Catalog, a curated resource of SNP-trait associations

TL;DR: A number of recent improvements to theNHGRI Catalog of Published Genome-Wide Association Studies are presented, including novel ways for users to interact with the Catalog and changes to the curation infrastructure.

Stress signalling pathways that impair prefrontal cortex structure and function

TL;DR: Recent research has provided clues as to why genetic or environmental insults that disinhibit stress signalling pathways can lead to symptoms of profound prefrontal cortical dysfunction in mental illness.
