Grey matter and social functioning correlates of glutamatergic metabolite loss in schizophrenia.
BACKGROUND Thalamic glutamine loss and grey matter reduction suggest neurodegeneration in first-episode schizophrenia, but the duration is unknown. AIMS To observe glutamine and glutamate levels, grey matter volumes and social functioning in patients with schizophrenia followed to 80 months after diagnosis. METHOD Grey matter volumes and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy metabolites in...
متن کاملGlutamate dysfunction in people with prodromal symptoms of psychosis: relationship to gray matter volume.
BACKGROUND The glutamate model of schizophrenia proposes that altered glutamatergic neurotransmission is fundamental to the development of the disorder. In addition, its potential to mediate neurotoxicity raises the possibility that glutamate dysfunction could underlie neuroanatomic changes in schizophrenia. Here we determine whether changes in brain glutamate are present in subjects at ultra h...
متن کاملRelationship between Glutamate Dysfunction and Symptoms and Cognitive Function in Psychosis
The glutamate hypothesis of schizophrenia, proposed over two decades ago, originated following the observation that administration of drugs that block NMDA glutamate receptors, such as ketamine, could induce schizophrenia-like symptoms. Since then, this hypothesis has been extended to describe how glutamate abnormalities may disturb brain function and underpin psychotic symptoms and cognitive i...
متن کاملProton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging of cortical gray and white matter in schizophrenia.
OBJECTIVE To apply in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging estimates of N-acetylaspartate (NAA), a neuronal marker, to clarify the relative contribution of neuronal and glial changes to the widespread volume deficit of cortical gray matter seen in patients with schizophrenia with magnetic resonance images. METHODS Ten male veterans meeting criteria of the DSM-IV, for schizophre...
متن کاملHuman cerebral osmolytes during chronic hyponatremia. A proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy study.
The pathogenesis of morbidity associated with hyponatremia is postulated to be determined by the state of intracellular cerebral osmolytes. Previously inaccessible, these metabolites can now be quantitated by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. An in vivo quantitative assay of osmolytes was performed in 12 chronic hyponatremic patients (mean serum sodium 120 meq/liter) and 10 normal control...
