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.

Catechol-O-methyltransferase gene expression in stress-induced and non-stress induced schizophrenia.

TL;DR: Data supports that reduced blood catechol-O-methyltransferase expression, which may be associated with higher dopamine level, is involved both in stress-induced and non-stress–induced schizophrenia.

Big data and the goal of personalized health interventions

TL;DR: In this article , the authors describe the what, where, and how of big data, focusing on data sources and analytical approaches most relevant for mental health research, with examples of how big data can inform prediction, prevention, and treatment choices.
Journal ArticleDOI

New Insights Regarding Diagnosis and Medication for Schizophrenia Based on Neuronal Synapse-Microglia Interaction.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that excessive synaptic pruning plays a role in the development of schizophrenia is introduced and a strategy for diagnosis and medication based on modulation of the interaction between microglia and synapses is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Novel Variant in Dopamine Receptor Type 2 Gene is Associated with Schizophrenia

TL;DR: The study found significant association of a novel missense SNP of DRD2 at chr11:113412805 (C>T) with schizophrenia in Pakistani population, but a large-scale multicenter study will be required to confirm the association of this novel SNP with schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms underpinning Carpolobia lutea G. Don ethanol extract's neurorestorative and antipsychotic-like activities in an NMDA receptor antagonist model of schizophrenia.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors explored the neuro-therapeutic role of Carpolobia lutea ethanol extract in ketamine-induced schizophrenia-like symptoms in mice, and found that C. lutesa reverses the cardinal symptoms of ketamineinduced schizophrenia in a dose-dependent fashion by modulating the oxido-inflammatory and neurotransmitter-related mechanisms.

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.
