Abstract
Anumber of hypotheses have been put forth regarding the etiology of schizophrenia, including the dopamine hypothesis, NMDA
receptor hypofunction hypothesis, and others. A lesser known theory is that elevated noradrenergic signaling plays a causative
role in the disease. This paper briefly re-examines the merits of this hypothesis, including as it relates to some recently published
studies. Several lines of evidence are investigated, including: endogenous level studies of norepinephrine (NE); modulation of the
disease by noradrenergic drugs; association of the disease with bipolar disorder and hypertension, since these latter two
conditions may involve elevated NE transmission; and effects of psychological stress on the disease, since stress can produce
elevated release of NE. For many of these lines of evidence, their relationship with prepulse inhibition of startle is examined. A
number of these studies support the hypothesis, and several suggest that elevated NE signaling plays a particularly prominent
role in the paranoid subtype of schizophrenia. If the hypothesis is correct for some persons, conventional pharmaceutical
treatment options, such as use of atypical antipsychotics (which may themselves modulate noradrenergic signaling), may be

The profile of brain structural abnormalities in schizophrenia is still not fully understood, despite decades of research using brain
scans. To validate a prospective meta-analysis approach to analyzing multicenter neuroimaging data, we analyzed brain MRI scans
from 2028 schizophrenia patients and 2540 healthy controls, assessed with standardized methods at 15 centers worldwide. We
Identified subcortical brain volumes that differentiated patients from controls, and ranked them according to their effect sizes.
Compared with healthy controls, patients with schizophrenia had smaller hippocampus (Cohen's d=~ 0.46), amygdala (d= 0.31),
thalamus (d=— 0.31), accumbens (d=— 0.25) and intracranial volumes (d=~0.12), as well as larger pallidum (d=0.21) and lateral
ventricle volumes (d= 0.37). Putamen and pallidum volume augmentations were positively associated with duration of illness and
hippocampal deficits scaled with the proportion of unmedicated patients. Worldwide cooperative analyses of brain imaging data
support a profile of subcortical abnormalities in schizophrenia, which is consistent with that based on traditional meta-analytic
approaches. This first ENIGMA Schizophrenia Working Group study validates that collaborative data analyses can readily be used
across brain phenotypes and disorders and encourages analysis and data sharing efforts to further our understanding of severe

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Although many quantitative magnetic resonance imaging studies have found significant volume reductions in
the hippocampi of patients with schizophrenia compared with those of normal control subjects, others have not. Therefore, the
issue of hippocampal volume differences associated with schizophrenia remains in question.
METHODS: Two meta-analyses were conducted to reduce the potential effects of sampling error and methodological differences
in data acquisition and analysis. Eighteen studies with a total patient number of 522 and a total control number of 426 met the
initial selection criteria.
RESULTS: Meta-analysis 1 yielded mean effect sizes of 0.37 (P<.001) for the left hippocampus and 0.39 (P<.001) for the right,
corresponding to a bilateral reduction of 4%. Meta-analysis 2 indicated that the inclusion of the amygdala in the region of interest
significantly increased effect sizes across studies (effect size for the left hippocampus and amygdala, 0.67; for the right, 0.72),
whereas variables such as illness duration, total slice width, magnet strength, the use of the intracranial volume as a covariate,
measurement reliability, and study quality did not. No laterality differences were observed in these data.
CONCLUSIONS: Schizophrenia is associated with a bilateral volumetric reduction of the hippocampus and probably of the
amygdala as well. These findings reinforce the importance of the medial temporal region in schizophrenia and are consistent with
frequently reported memory deficits in these patients. Future quantitative magnetic resonance imaging studies evaluating the
hippocampal volume should measure the hippocampus and amygdala separately and compare the volumetric reduction in these
structures to that observed in other gray matter areas.

Negative Selection
° An interesting, though not unexpected, observation is that patients with schizophrenia have
significantly fewer children compared to the general population .
°In theory, this should be generating an enormous negative selective pressure quickly removing
risk alleles from the population; however, the disease maintains a relatively high heritability and
prevalence at ~1%.
» Among possible explanations are balancing selection favoring genotype diversity; advantage for
those who carry the allele but do not get sick; changing environments that expose or protect
cryptic variation; or quick replenishment by new mutations, in view of the possibility that
disruption of thousands of different genes may be able to lead to disease .

Abstract
The Wht signaling pathway plays a crucial role in neurodevelopment and in regulating the function and structure of
the adult nervous system. Schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disarder (BD) are severe mental disorders with evidence of
subtle neurodevelopmental, structural and functional neuronal abnormalities. We aimed to elucidate the role of
aberrant regulation of the Wnt system in these disorders by evaluating plasma levels of secreted Wnt modulators in
patients (SCZ = 551 and BD = 246) and healthy controls (HCs = 639) using enzyme immune-assay. We also
investigated the expression of 141 Wnt-related genes in whole blood in a subsample (SCZ = 338, BD = 241, and HCs
= 263) using microarray analysis, Both SCZ and BD had dysregulated mRNA expression of Wnt-related genes favoring
attenuated canonical (beta-catenin-dependent) signaling, and there were also indices of enhanced non-canonical Wnt
signaling. In particular, FZD7, which may activate all Wnt pathways, but favors non-canonical signaling, and NFATC3, a
downstream transcription factor and readout of the non-canonical Wnt/Ca** pathway, were significantly increased in
SCZ and BD (p < 3 x 10-). Furthermore, patients had lower plasma levels of soluble dickkopf 1 and sclerostin (p < 0.01)
compared with HC. Our findings suggest that SCZ and BD are characterized by abnormal Wnt gene expression and
plasma protein levels, and we propose that drugs targeting the Wnt pathway may have a role in the treatment of
severe mental disorders.

° Plays a crucial role in neurodevelopment
° Regulating the function and structure of the adult nervous system
° The three best characterized Wnt signaling pathways
1. canonical Wnt pathway(Wnt/B-catenin pathway),
2. the noncanonical planar cell polarity pathway,
3. and the noncanonical Wnt/calcium pathway.

Results are given as p-values where significant results (p-values adjusted for multiple testing)
are indicated in red/dark blue (for increased/decreased mRNA expression) and nominally
significant results (0.001 < p < 0.05) are shown as pinis/light blue (for
increased/decreased mRNA expression). The figure summarizes relevant genes for the three
Wnt pathways (i.e., canonical pathway, non-canonical planar cell polarity pathway, and the
non-canonical Wnt/Ca2+ pathway). The figure is based on the Wnt signaling pathway in the
KEGG database

on different postsynaptic and presynaptic receptors:
صفحه 62:
Dopamine receptors (subtypes D,, D,, D, and D,), which account for its different
antipsychotic properties on productive and unproductive symptoms, in the
mesolimbic dopamine system accounts for the antipsychotic effect whereas the
blockade in the nigrostriatal system produces the extrapyramidal effects
Serotonin receptors (5-HT,, 5-HT, and 5-HT,), with anxiolytic, antidepressant and
antiaggressive properties as well as an attenuation of extrapyramidal side effects,
but also leading to weight gain and ejaculation difficulties.
Histamine receptors (H, receptors, accounting for sedation, antiemetic effect,
vertigo, and weight gain)
o,- and o adrenergic receptors (accounting for sympatholytic properties, lowering
of blood pressure, reflex tachycardia, vertigo, sedation, hypersalivation and
incontinence as well as sexual dysfunction, but may also attenuate
pseudoparkinsonism—controversial. Also associated with weight gain as a result of
blockage of the adrenergic alpha 1 receptor)
M, and M, muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (causing anticholinergic symptoms
such as dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, difficulty or inability to urinate,
sinus tachycardia, electrocardiographic changes and loss of memory, but the
anticholinergic action may attenuate extrapyramidal side effects).
