Recent reports have strongly linked markers near the β£-7 nicotinic cholinergic receptor subunit gene on human chromosome 15q13-q14 to a sensory gating deficit common in schizophrenics, and have shown positive though non-significant results linking this region to the primary phenotype of schizophreni
Schizophrenia patients demonstrate a deficiency in the filtering of sensory information, and one specific measure involves a response to the second of a pair of auditory stimuli. A neurophysiological measure of this consists of the electroencephalographic response to pairs of auditory signals, emitt
## Abstract Alterations in dopaminergic system have been implicated in the pathophysiology of this disease for many years, and this study was performed to assess the possible involvement of the dopamine D4 receptor (__DRD4__) gene polymorphisms either in the 5β² upstream or in the coding regions, in
