Schizophrenia is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by positive and negative symptoms, as well as cognitive dysfunctions. There is no single cause of schizophrenia, instead complex combinations of genetic and environmental factors may contribute to the disorder, including exposure to viral infections or other environmental insults during early life. Discoveries during the last 30 years have provided increasing evidence for a glutamatergic hypofunction in schizophrenia. This hypothesis… CONTINUE READING
