Metabotropic glutamate receptor agonists for schizophrenia.
A drug acting at metabotropic glutamate receptors has recently been reported to be an effective antipsychotic, breaking the rule that only dopamine receptor-blocking drugs have this property. The finding complements accumulating evidence that glutamatergic abnormalities are important in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia.
متن کاملNicotinic receptor function in schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia can be partially characterized by deficits in sensory processing. Biochemical, molecular, and genetic studies of one such endophenotype, the P50 auditory-evoked potential gating deficit, suggest that one of the neuronal nicotinic receptors, the alpha 7 nicotinic receptor, may function in an inhibitory neuronal pathway involved in this phenotype. The P50 deficit is normalized in no...
متن کاملAppraisal of genetic and epigenetic congruity of a monozygotic twin pair discordant for schizophrenia.
The origin of monozygotic (MZ) twins is attributed to two or more daughter cells of a single zygote undergoing independent mitotic divisions, leading to independent development and births. It provides the foundation for the assumption that the resulting twins will be genetically identical. This assumption has been used to evaluate the relative role of genes and environment for a variety of mult...
متن کاملSerotonin 2A receptor antagonists for treatment of schizophrenia.
INTRODUCTION All approved antipsychotic drugs share an affinity for the dopamine 2 (D(2)) receptor; however, these drugs only partially ameliorate the symptoms of schizophrenia. It is, therefore, of paramount importance to identify new treatment strategies for schizophrenia. AREAS COVERED Preclinical, clinical and post-mortem studies of the serotonin 5-HT(2A) system in schizophrenia are revie...
متن کاملAre cannabinoid receptor knockout mice animal models for schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia is a devastating psychiatric disorder with a high prevalence worldwide. There is therefore a need for animal models allowing the development of new therapeutic interventions and reliable diagnostic tests. In the temporal domain, cannabinoid receptor gene (CB1) knockout mice exhibit behavioural alterations, which parallel symptoms in schizophrenia, cannabis intoxication and dopamin...
