2000, Biological PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :Current views of the role of dopamine (DA) in schizophrenia hold that a functional excess of DA in subcortical structures may coexist with a deficit in DA neurotransmission in the cerebral cortex (Davis et al 1991; Goldstein and Deutch 1992; Heritch 1990; Weinberger et al 1988). Indeed, previous reports suggestive of altered DA neurotransmission in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of schizophrenic subjects (Daniel et al 1989, Daniel et al 1991; Meador-Woodruff et al 1997; Stefanis et al 1998) are supported by our recent finding of reductions in markers of DA axon density in this cortical region (Akil et al 1999); however, abnormalities of cortical DA neurotransmission in schizophrenia are unlikely to be restricted to the PFC. For example, the rostral entorhinal cortex (ERC), which receives a dense DA innervation in primates (Akil and Lewis 1993, 1994), has also been implicated as a site of dysfunction in schizophrenia (Arnold 1997; Harrison 1999; Lewis and Akil 1997). The ERC constitutes the rostral portion of the parahippocampal gyrus in the medial temporal lobe (Figure 1 ) and is reciprocally connected to multiple unimodal and polymodal sensory association areas of the cerebral cortex (Insausti et al 1987).
Familial transmission of risk factors in the first-degree relatives of schizophrenic people
2000, Biological PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :In the medial temporal lobe, the area associated with the source of the P50 response, the hippocampal formation and associated parahippocampal neocortex, which include the entorhinal cortex, express receptors for dopamine (Meador-Woodruff et al 1994). Dopaminergic innervation of the entorhinal cortex is especially prominent, although it has been reported to be decreased in schizophrenia (Lewis and Akil 1997). The biological concomitant of increased dopaminergic neurotransmission at the single neuron level is an increase in sensitivity to neuronal stimuli (Johnson et al 1983).
