Schizophrenia; from structure to function with special focus on the mediodorsal thalamic prefrontal loop.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To describe structural and biochemical evidence from postmortem brains that implicates the reciprocal connections between the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus and the prefrontal cortex in cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia. METHOD: The ... Read more...

Neurodevelopmental mechanisms of schizophrenia: understanding disturbed postnatal brain maturation through neuregulin-1-ErbB4 and DISC1.

24 Aug 2009 Schizophrenia (SZ) is primarily an adult psychiatric disorder in which disturbances caused by susceptibility genes and environmental insults during early neurodevelopment initiate neurophysiological changes over a long time course, culminating in ... Read more...

Symptomatic and functional correlates of regional brain physiology during working memory processing in patients with recent onset schizophrenia.

16 Aug 2009 Patients with schizophrenia show altered patterns of functional activation during working memory processing; specifically, high-performing patients appear to hyper-activate and low-performing patients appear to hypo-activate when compared with ... Read more...
