Schizophrenia is a neuropsychiatric disease characterized by many symptoms including deficits in attention, working memory and executive functions. Among the neurochemicals related to schizophrenia it has been considered the involvement of nitric oxide (NO), an atypical neurotransmitter closely related to dopamine (DA) and glutamate (GLU) neurotransmissions. Among the animal models used f…

Schizophrenia is a psychiatric disorder whose sources are still unknown and has got a range of associated symptoms. The onset of this disease is considered when the first psychotic episode appears, which usually occurs between the late adolescence and early adulthood. There are several hypotheses regarding the development of schizophrenia, including neurodevelopment, which neurobiological…
Schizophrenia has still unknown causes, although they may be related to dopaminergic hyperfunction and glutamatergic hypofunction, in addition to a possible link with neuroinflammation. Despite its imprecise origin, there are hypotheses about neurodevelopmental disorder leading to animal models based on interventions during this phase. One of these models is the treatment with methylazoxy…
The causes of schizophrenia remain unknown. Some well-established facts are the dopaminergic hyperfunction and the hypofunction of the glutamatergic system in specific regions. One evidence of neurochemical modifications is the loss of the expression of GABAergic paraybumin positive (PV +) interneurons. In addition, the reduction of glutathione (GSH)is verified in postmortem analyzes of s…
