Occurs in all parts of the world, but is 10 to 100 times more common in the United States and Europe than in third-world countries. More common in men than in women by a ration of about 7 to 5. More severe and earlier age of onset for men (early 20’s versus late 20). Likelihood increases as the age of the father increases. Characteristics of Schizophrenia Characteristics Deteriorating ability to function Accompanied by delusions, hallucinations, thought disorder, movement disorder and inappropriate emotional expression Behavioral Symptoms Positive Symptoms-behavior that are present that should be absent Delusions, hallucinations, thought disorders Negative Symptoms-behavior that is absent that should be present Weak social interactions, emotional expression, speech, and working memory  Probabilities of developing schizophrenia The closer the genetic relationship to someone with schizophrenia, the higher the probability of developing it oneself. Schizophrenia and Genetics Genetics Concordance rate is 50% However, genes are not the only influence A gene has not been located for schizophrenia Hypotheses of Causation in Schizophrenia Neurodevelopmental Either genes or difficulties early in life impair brain development in ways that lead to schizophrenic-like symptoms in early adulthood Dopamine Hypothesis-Excess dopamine activity causes behavioral changes associated with schizophrenia Supported by drug treatments that target dopamine Glutamate Hypothesis-the problem is deficient glutamate activity Neurodevelopmental The neurodevelopmental hypothesis suggests abnormalities in the prenatal or neonatal development of the nervous system. Leads to subtle abnormalities of brain anatomy and major abnormalities in behavior. Abnormalities could result from genetics, difficulty during birth, or a combination of both. Causation Supporting evidence for the neurodevelopmental hypothesis includes: Several kinds of prenatal or neonatal difficulties are linked to later schizophrenia. People with schizophrenia have minor brain abnormalities that originate early in life. Abnormalities of early development could impair behavior in adulthood. Prenatal Risk Factors Prenatal risk factors increasing the likelihood of schizophrenia include: Poor nutrition of the mother during pregnancy. Premature birth. Low birth weight. Complications during delivery. Head injuries in early childhood are also linked to increased incidence of schizophrenia. Season of Birth Certain viral infections may be an alternative or supplement genetic influences. The seasoned-of-birth effect refers to the tendency for people born in winter to have a slightly (5% to 8%) greater probability of developing schizophrenia. More pronounced in latitudes far from the equator. Might be explained by complications of delivery, nutritional factors, or increased likelihood of viral infections Schizophrenia and Brain Schizophrenia is associated with mild brain abnormalities: Strongest deficits found in the left temporal and frontal lobe of the cortex. Larger than normal ventricles. Especially common in those with complications during birth. Areas that mature slowly such as the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.

Larger than normal ventricles. Especially common in those with complications during birth. Areas that mature slowly such as the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.

Leads to subtle abnormalities of brain anatomy and major abnormalities in behavior. Abnormalities could result from genetics, difficulty during birth, or a combination of both. Causation Supporting evidence for the neurodevelopmental hypothesis includes: Several kinds of prenatal or neonatal difficulties are linked to later schizophrenia. People with schizophrenia have minor brain abnormalities that originate early in life. Abnormalities of early development could impair behavior in adulthood. Prenatal Risk Factors Prenatal risk factors increasing the likelihood of schizophrenia include: Poor nutrition of the mother during pregnancy. Premature birth. Low birth weight.

Occurs in all parts of the world, but is 10 to 100 times more common in the United States and Europe than in third-world countries. More common in men than in women by a ration of about 7 to 5. More severe and earlier age of onset for men (early 20’s versus late 20). Likelihood increases as the age of the father increases. Characteristics of Schizophrenia Characteristics Deteriorating ability to function Accompanied by delusions, hallucinations, thought disorder, movement disorder and inappropriate emotional expression Behavioral Symptoms Positive Symptoms-behavior that are present that should be absent Delusions, hallucinations, thought disorders Negative Symptoms-behavior that is absent that should be present Weak social interactions, emotional expression, speech, and working memory  Probabilities of developing schizophrenia The closer the genetic relationship to someone with schizophrenia, the higher the probability of developing it oneself. Schizophrenia and Genetics Genetics Concordance rate is 50% However, genes are not the only influence A gene has not been located for schizophrenia Hypotheses of Causation in Schizophrenia Neurodevelopmental Either genes or difficulties early in life impair brain development in ways that lead to schizophrenic-like symptoms in early adulthood Dopamine Hypothesis-Excess dopamine activity causes behavioral changes associated with schizophrenia Supported by drug treatments that target dopamine Glutamate Hypothesis-the problem is deficient glutamate activity Neurodevelopmental The neurodevelopmental hypothesis suggests abnormalities in the prenatal or neonatal development of the nervous system. Leads to subtle abnormalities of brain anatomy and major abnormalities in behavior. Abnormalities could result from genetics, difficulty during birth, or a combination of both. Causation Supporting evidence for the neurodevelopmental hypothesis includes: Several kinds of prenatal or neonatal difficulties are linked to later schizophrenia. People with schizophrenia have minor brain abnormalities that originate early in life. Abnormalities of early development could impair behavior in adulthood. Prenatal Risk Factors Prenatal risk factors increasing the likelihood of schizophrenia include: Poor nutrition of the mother during pregnancy. Premature birth. Low birth weight. Complications during delivery. Head injuries in early childhood are also linked to increased incidence of schizophrenia. Season of Birth Certain viral infections may be an alternative or supplement genetic influences. The seasoned-of-birth effect refers to the tendency for people born in winter to have a slightly (5% to 8%) greater probability of developing schizophrenia. More pronounced in latitudes far from the equator. Might be explained by complications of delivery, nutritional factors, or increased likelihood of viral infections Schizophrenia and Brain Schizophrenia is associated with mild brain abnormalities: Strongest deficits found in the left temporal and frontal lobe of the cortex. Larger than normal ventricles. Especially common in those with complications during birth. Areas that mature slowly such as the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Schizophrenics have deficits in working memory.

Substance-induced psychotic disorder is characterized by hallucinations and delusions resulting from repeated large doses of amphetamines, methamphetamines, or cocaine. Each prolongs activity of dopamine at the synapse, providing further evidence for dopamine hypothesis.

Examples: clozapine, risperidone. More effective at treating the negative symptoms and are now more widely used. Have less effect on dopamine D2 receptors and more strongly antagonize serotonin type 5-HT2 receptors.

Dopamine and glutamate may play important roles in schizophrenia to different degrees in different people. Schizophrenia involves multiple genes and abnormalities in dopamine, glutamate, serotonin and GABA.
