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.

Epigenetics of childhood trauma: Long term sequelae and potential for treatment

TL;DR: A recent review as discussed by the authors summarizes current knowledge on the epigenetic basis of childhood trauma and describes studies in animal models and human subjects examining how the epigenome and transcriptome are modified by CT in the brain.

Nicotine dependence in Croatian male inpatients with schizophrenia.

TL;DR: Smokers with schizophrenia differ from healthy smokers in both smoking behavior and level of dependence, and longitudinal studies are needed to shed more light on the complex relationship between smoking and psychopathology in schizophrenia.

Self-Reported Autistic Traits Using the AQ: A Comparison between Individuals with ASD, Psychosis, and Non-Clinical Controls.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that symptoms are partially overlapping in adults with ASD and psychosis, and concerns regarding the usefulness of AQ as a screening tool in clinical populations are raised.

Mesolimbic dopamine dysregulation as a signature of information processing deficits imposed by prenatal THC exposure.

TL;DR: The VTA dopamine neuron and sensorimotor gating functions of PCE rats exposed to acute stress or a challenge of the D2 receptor agonist apomorphine are characterized by using in vivo single-unit extracellular recordings and Prepulse Inhibition analyses.

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.
