Synaptic abnormalities have been implicated in schizophrenia. In order to investigate synaptic pathology in schizophrenia, we examined levels of mRNAs encoding synaptophysin, synapsin 1A and synapsin 1B in the left temporal cortex from schizophrenics (n โซุโฌ 24) and from normal control individuals wi

Alterations in the 5-HT2A receptor gene expression in the prefrontal cortex have been suggested to play a role in the pathophysiology and pharmacotherapy of schizophrenia. This study measured mRNA encoding 5-HT2A receptor in the left superior frontal gyrus from chronic elderly schizophrenics (n ฯญ 21
## Abstract To verify whether altered glial glutamate uptake contributes to the reduced efficacy of glutamatergic transmission reported in the prefrontal cortex of schizophrenics, we studied the expression of GLTโ1, the transporter responsible for most glutamate transport, in autoptic samples of pr
