Journal ArticleDOI

Biological insights from 108 schizophrenia-associated genetic loci

Stephan Ripke, +354 more
- 24 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: Associations at DRD2 and several genes involved in glutamatergic neurotransmission highlight molecules of known and potential therapeutic relevance to schizophrenia, and are consistent with leading pathophysiological hypotheses.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of MRI findings in schizophrenia

TL;DR: The 193 peer reviewed MRI studies reported in the current review span the period from 1988 to August, 2000 and have led to more definitive findings of brain abnormalities in schizophrenia than any other time period in the history of schizophrenia research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abnormalities of the left temporal lobe and thought disorder in schizophrenia. A quantitative magnetic resonance imaging study.

TL;DR: New MRI neuroimaging techniques are used to derive volume measurements and three-dimensional reconstructions of temporal-lobe structures in vivo in 15 right-handed men with chronic schizophrenia and 15 matched controls to discover the degree of thought disorder is related to the size of the reduction in volume of the left posterior superior temporal gyrus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sleep cycle oscillation: reciprocal discharge by two brainstem neuronal groups.

TL;DR: During the sleep cycle in cats, neurons localized to the posterolateral pole of the nucleus locus coeruleus and the nucleus subcoeruleus undergo discharge rate changes that are the opposite of those of the pontine reticular giant cells.
