Dysregulation of the dopamine system in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and depression
Open accessAbstract
The dopamine system is unique among the brain's modulatory systems in that it has discrete projections to specific brain regions involved in motor behaviour, cognition and emotion. Dopamine neurons exhibit several activity patterns - including tonic and phasic firing - that are determined by a combination of endogenous pacemaker conductances and regulation by multiple afferent systems. Emerging evidence suggests that disruptions in these regulatory systems may underlie the pathophysiology of several psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and depression.

The working memory disturbance in major depression is likely related to an initial hyperactivity of the dopaminergic system that eventually leads to long-term downregulation of dopamine activity in the basal ganglia, thereby contributing to anhedonia and lack of motivation.
“This is likely related to an initial hyperactivity of the dopaminergic system that eventually leads to long-term downregulation of dopamine activity in BG, thereby contributing to anhedonia and lack of motivation (Grace, 2016).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
