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.

Polygenic Risk Scores for Psychiatric Disorders Reveal Novel Clues About the Genetics of Disordered Gambling.

TL;DR: Whether gambling and DG are associated with PRSs for four psychiatric conditions found to be comorbid with DG in epidemiologic surveys is investigated and features common to both SCZ and DG might generate valuable clues about the genetically influenced liabilities to DG.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of a novel inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha on prepulse inhibition and microglial activation in two distinct rodent models of schizophrenia.

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel immune modulator (PD2024) was proposed to target the pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) to alleviate sensorimotor gating deficits and microglial activation employing two different rodent models of schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Time Course of Dorsal and Rostral-Ventral Anterior Cingulate Cortex Activity in the Emotional Stroop Experiment Reveals Valence and Arousal Aberrant Modulation in Patients with Schizophrenia.

TL;DR: Using high density EEG and source localisation, it was possible to distinguish various disturbances within the dACC and rvACC in patients with SZ, during emotion–cognition processing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Twin studies of brain structure and cognition in schizophrenia.

TL;DR: The use of novel hybrid models integrating molecular genetic risk markers, as well as the use of twin studies in epigenetics might prove to significantly enhance schizophrenia research in the post-GWAS era.

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.
