Epidemiologic studies indicate that obsessivecompulsive disorder is genetically transmitted in some families, although no genetic abnormalities have been identified in individuals with this disorder. The selective response of obsessive-compulsive disorder to treatment with agents which block seroton

The sequence of pathophysiological changes in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at the single motor unit (MU) level is not well understood. Using a recently described technique, a comprehensive range of physiological properties in two thenar MUs in ALS were intensively studied. In the first MU, de
Dysfunctions in serotonergic pathways may underlie several psychiatric disorders. The reuptake of serotonin (5-HT) from synaptic terminals is mediated by a specific transporter (5-HTT). Genetic variation in the gene coding for the 5-HTT protein might be involved in the predisposition to psychiatric
## Abstract SLC1A1 encodes a neuronal glutamate transporter and is a promising candidate gene for obsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD). Several independent research groups have reported significant associations between OCD and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in this gene. Previously, we evalu
## Abstract Based on the glutamatergic dysfunction hypothesis for schizophrenia pathogenesis, we have been performing systematic association studies of schizophrenia with the glutamate receptor and transporter genes. We report here association studies of schizophrenia with three glutamate transport
