Schizophrenia is a complex mental disorder that displays behavioral deficits such as decreased sensory gating, reduced social interaction and working memory deficits. The neurodevelopmental model is one of the widely accepted hypotheses of the etiology of schizophrenia.

For many years, schizophrenia has been felt to be associated with dysregulated dopaminergic neurotransmission as a key feature of the pathophysiology of the illness. Although numerous studies point to dopa...
متن کاملBRCA1 mutation and neuronal migration defect: implications for chemoprevention.
Previously we described a BRCA1 carrier with a neuronal migration defect and postulated that the brain abnormality was caused by functional nullisomy for BRCA1. We now describe another family in which a similar type of neuronal migration defect has occurred in one of female identical twins with a BRCA1 gene mutation (MIM 113705). One twin developed unusually early onset multiple primary breast ...

The devastating effect of the illness is usually long-lasting and requires lifelong treatment.

متن کاملNeuroimaging of schizophrenia: structural abnormalities and pathophysiological implications
Schizophrenia, once considered a psychological malady devoid of any organic brain substrate, has been the focus of intense neuroimaging research. Findings reveal mild but generalized tissue loss as well as more selective focal loss. It is unclear whether these abnormalities reflect neurodevelopmental or neurodegenerative processes, or some combination of each; current evidence favors a preponde...
