Thalamus3
  • One major study reported brains of healthy highly creative people and schizophrenics both share low D2 dopamine receptors in their thalamus. (elephantjournal.com)
  • The study shows that highly creative people who did well on the divergent tests had a lower density of D2 receptors in the thalamus than less creative people," says Dr Ullén. (expertsvar.se)
  • Fewer D2 receptors in the thalamus probably means a lower degree of signal filtering, and thus a higher flow of information from the thalamus," says Dr Ullén, and explains that this could a possible mechanism behind the ability of healthy highly creative people to see numerous uncommon connections in a problem-solving situation and the bizarre associations found in the mentally ill.

Pathogenesis1
Brain11
  • Dopamine is one of the major excitatory neurotransmitters in the brain. (provincequebec.com)
  • Researchers have found that at very low concentrations, ACR16 binds to the sigma-1 receptor, a protein in the brain important to neuronal function and survival. (eurekalert.org)
  • Pridopidine or dopamine stabiliser ACR16 (also known as Huntexil), is in an advanced phase of clinical trials (phase III) for the relief of the motor symptoms of Huntington's disease, an incurable disease caused by neuronal degeneration in certain parts of the brain. (eurekalert.org)
  • Here, we used the Df1 /+ mouse model of 22q11.2DS to investigate the relationship between hearing loss and susceptibility to schizophrenia-relevant brain and behavioral abnormalities. (biorxiv.org)
  • These results reveal bottom-up neurobiological mechanisms through which peripheral hearing loss arising from the 22q11.2 deletion may promote the emergence of schizophrenia-relevant auditory brain and behavioral abnormalities, and also suggest a link between conductive hearing loss and reduced PV+ interneuron density in the auditory cortex. (biorxiv.org)
  • These results suggest mechanisms through which hearing loss associated with the 22q11.2 deletion may promote emergence of schizophrenia-relevant auditory brain and behavioral abnormalities and indicate that conductive hearing loss may influence PV+ interneuron density in the auditory cortex. (biorxiv.org)
  • We have studied the brain and the dopamine D2 receptors, and have shown that the dopamine system of healthy, highly creative people is similar to that found in people with schizophrenia," says associate professor Fredrik Ullén from Karolinska Institutet's Department of Woman and Child Health. (expertsvar.se)
  • Schizophrenics are also known to have low D2 density in this part of the brain, suggesting a cause of the link between mental illness and creativity. (expertsvar.se)
  • There has been an explosion of interest and information regarding dopamine receptors in the human brain. (psychiatrictimes.com)
  • In the brain, the principal dopamine systems arise from cells in the midbrain and the hypothalamus. (psychiatrictimes.com)
  • Schizophrenia (SZ) is a devastating brain disease that affects about 1% of world population. (biomedcentral.com)
Deficits3
  • Since we believe that the impoverishment of the behavioural repertoire caused by MK-801 may correspond to the cognitive deficits seen in schizophrenia and autism, these results suggest that ACR16 may improve cognitive status in these disorders. (nih.gov)
  • These gating deficits were transient and appeared to be dependent on an overactivity of D₂/₃-receptor-mediated dopamine signaling, highlighting a potential role for D₂/₃-receptors in the propsychotic action of THC. (unige.ch)
  • Effects of the 5-HT2A agonist psilocybin on mismatch negativity generation and AX-continuous performance task: implications for the neuropharmacology of cognitive deficits in schizophrenia. (neurotransmitter.net)
Neurotransmission1
  • In addition to adjusting dopamine activity, Trifluoperazine also impacts other neurotransmission systems within the central nervous system. (buy-pharma.md)
Diagnosis6
  • [ 2 ] Schizophrenia is more common in men, and the diagnosis is made at a younger age in males. (medscape.com)
  • Because of the variability of symptom expression, diagnostic requirements of chronicity, and lack of pathognomonic features, an ED diagnosis of schizophrenia should be made cautiously. (medscape.com)
  • As a diagnosis-by-exclusion, schizophrenia must be distinguished from the numerous psychiatric and organic disorders that also can lead to psychotic disturbances in thinking and behavior. (medscape.com)
  • The diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder is made when the patient has features of both schizophrenia and a mood disorder but does not strictly meet diagnostic criteria for either alone. (medscape.com)
  • Because of the variability of symptom expression, diagnostic requirements of chronicity, and lack of pathognomonic features, an ED diagnosis of schizophrenia should be provisional at best. (medscape.com)
  • While the primary diagnosis of schizophrenia rarely is made de novo in the ED, several historical features can be helpful in distinguishing the illness from the many medical and psychiatric conditions that can mimic it. (medscape.com)

  • This article is intended as the clinician's practical guide to the current understanding of dopamine receptors and their role in neuropsychiatric illness. (psychiatrictimes.com)

Dysfunction2
  • In addition to increased schizophrenia susceptibility, 22q11.2DS is also associated with over 100 different malformations and clinical presentations including heart defects, immune dysfunction, hypocalcaemia, and craniofacial abnormalities such as cleft palate ( Paylor and Lindsay, 2006 ). (biorxiv.org)
  • The abnormality of mismatch negativity (MMN) in schizophrenia is thought to be associated with perceptional disturbance and cognitive dysfunction. (neurotransmitter.net)
Mechanisms3
  • A study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden shows that a new drug for Huntington's disease - pridopidine or dopamine stabiliser ACR16 - might operate via previously unknown mechanisms of action. (eurekalert.org)
  • Hearing loss has been implicated as a risk factor for schizophrenia, but it is not known whether this association arises from common etiology, top-down influences (e.g., social isolation), bottom-up neurobiological mechanisms, or combinations of these factors. (biorxiv.org)
  • Indeed, subsequent local field potential recordings under diazepam (nanomolar or micromolar concentrations) revealed that mechanisms engaging the drug's classical binding site, mediated by α1-subunit-containing GABAA receptors, make a bigger contribution to Up state initiation in young networks compared to adults.

Adults2
  • During 2009-2011, an estimated 382,000 emergency department (ED) visits related to schizophrenia occurred each year among adults aged 18-64 years, with an overall ED visit rate of 20.1 per 10,000 adults. (medscape.com)
  • First-in-Class Schizophrenia Drug Safe, Effective, Durable The novel non-D2-receptor-binding drug known as SEP-363856 provides durable benefit and a benign safety profile in adults with schizophrenia, new six-month data suggest. (medscape.com)
