Course: Why Hippocampal Glutamate Levels Are Elevated in Schizophrenia

CME Credits: 1.00

Released: 2023-01-25

Recently completed genetic studies,, the largest and most comprehensive of their kind, help resolve schizophrenia’s complex pathobiology. With a preponderance of implicated genes localizing to hippocampal glutamatergic neurons, in particular pathogenic loss-of-function mutations in subunits of ?-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) and N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptors, the genetics inform the disorder’s anatomy and its pathophysiology.
