methods
Risk of schizophrenia 2.5fold higher if born in Copenhagen versus rural areas
Mortensen
1999
-
Positive correlation between the potency of antipsychotics and D2 binding
Seeman
1976
-
alpha versus beta flupenthixol --> only alpha isomer has D2 binding activity and subsequently only alpha isomer has antipsychotic effects
Johnstone
1978
-
Uptake of [18F] DOPA increased in individuals with prodromal symptoms
Howes
2009
PET
Decreased DA release in dorsolateral PFC of schizophrenic patients although not associated with negative symptoms
Slifstein
2015
PET--> amphetamine induced DA release in dorsolateral PFC
Argument that central DA role is to mediate salience: hyperdopaminergia would lead to aberrant assignment of salience
Kapur
2003
-
Decreased NMDAR transmission in hippocampal slices with ErbB4 knockdown
Li
2007
CA3-CA1 pathway: RNAi ErbB4 knockdown
Increased glutamine levels in anterior cingulate cortex of schizophrenic patients
Bustillo
2014
-
MGE neurons electroplated with dominant negative ErbB4 --> largely unresponsive to cortical attractant; ErbB4 mouse mutants have fewer migrating interneurons
Flames
2004
Electroporation, calbindin immunohistochemistry to look at migrating interneurons
Increased amygdala activation in patients with PTSD when shown cues
Bremner
1999
PET
Increased strength of connectivity in anterior orbitofrontal cortex and ventral caudate/NAc in individuals with OCD
Harrison
2009
fMRI
Optogenetic stimulation of cortical glutamate neurons increased ventromedial striatal neutron firing and increased OCD-like behaviour
Ahmari
2013
ChR2 in cortical glutamatergic neurons
Decreased benzodiazepine site binding in medication-free panic disorder patients
Malizia
1998
PET
gamma2 GABA-A subunit +/- mice had decreased GABA-A receptor function and increased anxiety behaviour
Crestani
1999
 
A GABA-A alpha3 selective agonist had anxiolytic effects without usual side effects
Dias
2005
 
5-HT2AR -/- mice had decreased anxiety-like behaviour
Weisstaub
2006
 
Individuals with short 5-HTT allele polymorphism had increased amygdala activation
Hairiri
2002
BOLD fMRI
pet1 -/- mice (pet1 important in differentiation of 5-HT neurons) have fewer serotonergic neurons, increased anxiety-like behaviour
Hendricks
2003
 
Stimulation of VTA in rats upon lever pressing led to addiction
Olds
1954
electrode stimulation
Optogenetic stimulation of DAergic mesolimbic neurons upon lever press--> addiction
Pascoli
2015
ChR2 in mice DAergic mesolimbic neurons--> laser VTA stimulation
Place paradigm using optogenetics--> mice showed preference for chamber with VTA stimulation
Tsai
2009
Same optogenetics as Pascoli
Nicotine desensitised nAChRs on GABAergic inputs more than glutamatergic inputs, and so enhances excitation of DAergic neurons
Mansvelder
2002
Rat brain sections with VTA, applied nicotine
Nicotine increased DA release during high-frequency firing patterns, more than low-frequency--> high-freq. associated with reward
Rice
2004
Guinea pig NAc, cholinergic inputs desensitised with nicotine
Greater DAergic VTA firing if the reward is higher than expected, leading to positive reinforcement and greater firing next time cue is presented; vice versa
Schultz
1997
Monkeys reward association task
Increased DA in NAc upon cue presentation
Day
2007
Pavlovian conditioning using sucrose reward in mice
Increased D2 PET signal in dorsal striatum of cocaine addicts shown scenes of drug purchase/preparation
Volkow
2005
PET in dorsal striatum using 11[C] raclopride
Amount of current required for action potential significantly greater in shock-resistant cocaine-addicted rats; Photoactivation of ChR2 in prelimbic cortex led to increased PFC activity reducing compulsive cocaine-seeking behaviour
Chen
2013
Whole cell recordings of pyramidal neurons in prelimbic cortex; optogenetic photo activation of prelimbic cortex
LTD contributes to prefrontal-stratal hyperactivity in addiction
Thomas
2001
-
Increased dendritic length, decreased spine density in PFC, NAc of amphetamine-treated rats
Robinson
1997
-
Persistent increased BDNF expression in VTA, NAc associated with cue-induced cocaine craving tests
Grimm
2003
