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.

Modulations in resting state networks of subcortical structures linked to creativity

TL;DR: Dopaminergic network variations turned out to be indicative for individual differences in creative traits, and the caudate network showed stronger connectivity in individuals with higher extraversion measures, while connectivity with the midbrain network was found increased with higher ideational behaviour and emotional stability.

Effects of early trauma on psychosis development in clinical high-risk individuals and stability of trauma assessment across studies: a review.

TL;DR: This review aims to highlight the existing evidence identifying associations of ET, of multiple forms, with both symptom severity and transition rates to psychosis in CHR individuals, and present data on the variability among trauma assessments and its implications for conclusions about its relationship with clinical variables.

Biochemistry, Dopamine Receptors

TL;DR: The dopamine receptors affect many various functions, ranging from hypertension and hormonal regulation to voluntary movement and reward, and what function each receptor has.

The Psychoactive Agent Crocin Can Regulate Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Activity.

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that rats re-exposed to a stressor developed characteristic symptoms of PTSD, but these were attenuated by Crocin, and suggest that Crocin can regulate HPA axis activity in PTSD.

Association of typical toxic heavy metals with schizophrenia.

TL;DR: Overall, this study suggested that higher levels of Pb and Cr may be one of the factors associated with an elevated risk of schizophrenia.

Biological insights from 108 schizophrenia-associated genetic loci

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.
