## Abstract Variants of the opioid receptors are the obvious candidates underlying addiction. The kappa opioid receptor (KOR) system seems to play a role in stress responsivity, opiate withdrawal and responses to psychoβstimulants, inhibiting mesolimbic dopamine. KOR gene polymorphisms have been re
## Abstract Although elevation of blood and platelet serotonin has been documented in autism, genetic analyses of serotonin transporter gene have given conflicting results. Tryptophan 2,3 dioxygenase (TDO2) is the rateβlimiting enzyme in the catabolism of tryptophan, the precursor of serotonin. A m
The specificity of cytoarchitectural abnormalities in limbic structures of patients with schizophrenia and their contributions towards the etiology of schizophrenia remain unknown. We have recently reported an increased breakdown of nonerythroid β£-spectrin (fodrin), a major component of neuronal cyt
