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.

The Cannabinoid CB1 Receptor in Schizophrenia.

TL;DR: An overview of the endocannabinoid system is provided and how CB1 receptor dysfunction may contribute to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia is reviewed, drawing on the role of the receptor in regulating synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using molecular imaging to understand early schizophrenia-related psychosis neurochemistry: a review of human studies

TL;DR: In vivo PET studies in the mentioned systems in the early course of psychosis (i.e. CHR and first-episode psychosis (FEP) are reviewed), and promising efforts involve the development of novel PET radiotracers targeting systems with growing interest in schizophrenia, like the nociceptive system and synaptic density.
Journal ArticleDOI

Consistent Exposure to Psychosocial Stressors and Progressive Intolerance to Stress in Individuals at Clinical High Risk for Psychosis

TL;DR: Results from the present study indicate an important role for exposure to stressors and increasing stress intolerance during psychosis pathogenesis, and findings indicating decreases in stress exposure may lead to more favorable outcomes provide a promising target for novel targeted interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dopamine perturbation of gene co-expression networks reveals differential response in schizophrenia for translational machinery

TL;DR: The role of translational machinery in SZ pathogenesis is substantiated, providing insights into a possible dopaminergic mechanism disrupting mitochondrial function, and demonstrates the utility of disease-relevant functional perturbation in the study of complex genetic etiologies.

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.
