Parvalbumin-immunoreactive neurons are reduced in the prefrontal cortex of schizophrenics

CL Beasley, GP Reynolds - Schizophrenia research, 1997 - Elsevier
Recent studies have provided evidence for a functional impairment of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-containing
interneurons in the prefrontal cortex of schizophrenics. This evidence …

Selective deficits in prefrontal cortical GABAergic neurons in schizophrenia defined by the presence of calcium-binding proteins

CL Beasley, ZJ Zhang, I Patten, GP Reynolds - Biological psychiatry, 2002 - Elsevier
Background: Postmortem studies have provided evidence for abnormalities of the γ-aminobutyric
acid (GABA)-ergic system in schizophrenia, including deficits of GABA-containing …

Proteomic analysis of the anterior cingulate cortex in the major psychiatric disorders: evidence for disease‐associated changes

CL Beasley, K Pennington, A Behan, R Wait… - …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Abnormalities of the anterior cingulate cortex have previously been described in schizophrenia,
major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder. In this study 2‐DE was performed …

Evidence for morphological alterations in prefrontal white matter glia in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder

C Hercher, V Chopra, CL Beasley - Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience, 2014 - jpn.ca
Background: Brain imaging studies suggest that volume reductions and compromised white
matter integrity occur in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (BD). However, the cellular …

GABAergic neuronal subtypes in the human frontal cortex—development and deficits in schizophrenia

GP Reynolds, CL Beasley - Journal of chemical neuroanatomy, 2001 - Elsevier
Recent studies have provided evidence for a deficit of GABA-containing interneurons in the
frontal cortex in schizophrenia. That this deficit might be brought about during early foetal or …

Reductions in cholesterol and synaptic markers in association cortex in mood disorders

CL Beasley, WG Honer, K von Bergmann… - Bipolar …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Objectives: Cholesterol forms an integral part of cell membranes and is a major component
of myelin. Furthermore, cholesterol also plays a vital role in the development, function and …

Neurochemical correlates of cortical GABAergic deficits in schizophrenia: selective losses of calcium binding protein immunoreactivity

GP Reynolds, ZJ Zhang, CL Beasley - Brain research bulletin, 2001 - Elsevier
Deficits in a variety of different neurochemical species are consistent with a loss of cortical γ-aminobutyric
acid (GABA)ergic interneurons in schizophrenia. As well as neurochemical …

Increased expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein in prefrontal cortex in psychotic illness

…, V Barakauskas, A Ypsilanti, AM Barr, CL Beasley - Schizophrenia …, 2013 - Elsevier
Astrocyte dysregulation has been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia (SCZ)
and bipolar disorder (BPD), however the exact nature of astrocytic alterations remains to be …

Increased hippocampal neurogenesis and p21 expression in depression: dependent on antidepressants, sex, age, and antipsychotic exposure

JR Epp, CL Beasley, LAM Galea - Neuropsychopharmacology, 2013 - nature.com
The mammalian hippocampus continues to generate new neurons throughout life. The
function of adult-generated neurons remains controversial, but adult neurogenesis in the …
