The Glutamatergic Dysfunction Hypothesis for Schizophrenia
Abstract
Schizophrenia is a syndrome, undoubtedly with multiple etiologies, that variably exhibits several features including positive and negative symptoms, cognitive deficits, onset in young adulthood, and deterioration from the previous level of function. This review will examine the growing evidence that dysfunction of corticolimbic glutamatergic neurotransmission may contribute to or account for the manifestations of schizophrenia. Glutamatergic neurons represent the primary excitatory afferent and efferent systems innervating the cortex, limbic regions, and striatum. The postsynaptic actions of glutamate are mediated by a family of glutamate-gated ion channels that permit the influx of sodium and calcium, thereby depolarizing (exciting) neurons. One of these receptors, the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, is the site of action of psychotomimetics such as phencyclidine and related anesthetics, which can reproduce in normal individuals most of the symptomatic features of schizophrenia. An endogenous antagonist at the NMDA receptor, N-acetyl-aspartyl glutamate, appears to have enhanced activity in the frontal cortex and hippocampal formation in persons with this disorder. Glutamatergic dysfunction may be particularly relevant to those forms of schizophrenia in which negative symptoms, cognitive deficits, and deterioration are prominent features. In support of this inference, clinical studies have shown that drugs that enhance NMDA-receptor function reduce negative symptoms and cognitive deficits in persons with chronic schizophrenia who are receiving neuroleptics. Thus, dysfunction of glutamatergic neurotransmission represents an important organizational focus for research on the complex manifestations of schizophrenia.

Glial/CSPG cluster abnormalities may represent a contributing factor to dysregulated glutamatergic transmission, and more broadly to neuron/glia interactions, in major psychoses.
“Glial/CSPG cluster abnormalities may thus represent a contributing factor to dysregulated glutamatergic transmission, and more broadly to neuron/glia interactions, in major psychoses.15, 22, 105, 106”

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.
