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.

Age-dependent divergent interactions between CX3CR1 absence and MK- 801 neonatal administration in a novel “dual hit” schizophrenia model

TL;DR: In this paper , the diathesis-stress model of schizophrenia posits that a constitutive factor increases the vulnerability to secondary stressors, and the fractalkine receptor (CX3CR1) depletion and MK-801 treatment had a synergistic effect, increasing neuronal apoptosis and overall mortality.

Dopaminergic Ric GTPase activity impacts amphetamine sensitivity and sleep quality in a dopamine transporter-dependent manner in Drosophila melanogaster

TL;DR: In this article, the Drosophila melanogaster Rit2 ortholog, Ric, was used to test whether the DRSophila Ric ortholog impacts dDAT function, trafficking, and DA-dependent behaviors.

Narrative Review of the Complex Interaction between Pain and Trauma in Children: A Focus on Biological Memory, Preclinical Data, and Epigenetic Processes

TL;DR: In this article , the authors define pain and trauma experiences in childhood and adolescents, discuss the relationship between pain and traumas, consider the role of biological memory, decipher the relationship of pain and traumatic experiences using preclinical data, and examine the role the environment by introducing the importance of epigenetic processes.

Imaging epigenetics study of schizophrenia with structure-enforced collaborative regression

TL;DR: A novel structure-enforced collaborative regression model (SCoRe) is proposed to extract co-expressed discriminative features related to SZ from fMRI and DNA methylation data to fill the gap by jointly analyzing imaging and epigenetics data to study SZ.

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.
