Family studies: ppl with relatives w schizophrenai have higher incidence
Adoption studies: those adopted by parents w scizophrenia have normal risk of getting it
Twin studies: monozygotic twins have a 50% chance, dizygotic twins have 17% chance
Effect of city living on schizophrenia

- Children who move to the city earlier in their lives are at greater risk than those who move to the city later
Environmental factors of schizophrenia
- External stress
- Prenatal stress
- Oxygen deprivation at birth
Neurological changes for schizophrenia
Larger ventricles
Hypofrontality hypothesis
Schizophrenia
Frontal lobes are underactive
research seems to support
Dopamine hypothesis
Schizophrenia
SZ comes from an EXCESS of DA release
Proof: first-gen antipsychotics are D2 receptor antagonists – block DA
Problems:
1) Drugs act quickly on receptors but change isn’t manifested until several weeks later
2) D2 receptor antagonists alleviated positive symptoms but didn’t do much to combat the negative ones
Glutamate hypothesis
Schizophrenia
SZ comes from UNDER activation of GLU receptors – accounts for hypofrontality
Proof: PCP induces a state resembling the positive and negative symptoms of SZ – blocks GLU from binding by blocking the NMDA CA channel
