Solving the dopamine riddle: New study pinpoints genetic mechanism linking brain chemical to schizophrenia

LIEBER INSTITUTE FOR BRAIN DEVELOPMENT Baltimore, Md. (November 1, 2022) – Researchers at the Lieber Institute for Brain Development(LIBD) believe they have solved a riddle that has challenged scientists for more than 70 years: how the brain chemical dopamine relates to schizophrenia, the often-devastating brain disorder characterized by delusional thinking, hallucinations and other forms of psychosis.    Through...

Researchers discover genetic mechanism associated with autism, schizophrenia, and other conditions

Researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) have unraveled a mechanism shared by mutations in the genes ADNP and SHANK3, which cause autism, schizophrenia, and other conditions. The researchers also found that an experimental drug previously developed in their lab is effective in lab models for these mutations and may be suitable for treating a range of rare syndromes...
