Inheritance of a defect in a neuronal mechanism that regulates response to auditory stimuli
was studied in nine families with multiple cases of schizophrenia. The defect, a decrease in …

The action of CNS inhibitory neuronal mechanisms was tested in acutely psychotic
unmedicated schizophrenic patients and in normal controls. An early positive component of the …

A series of human and animal investigations has suggested that altered expression and
function of the α7-nicotinic cholinergic receptor may be responsible for the auditory sensory …

This study tests the hypothesis that nicotinic cholinergic receptors, including those sensitive
to the antagonist α-bungarotoxin, are decreased in the hippocampus of schizophrenics. The …

Objective Because many schizophrenic patients are heavy smokers, it has been suggested
that nicotine normalizes some neuronal deficit involved in their illness. Schizophrenic …

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) convened a meeting in September 2005 to
review tobacco use and dependence and smoking cessation among those with mental …

Context The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene,CHRNA7, is associated with genetic
transmission of schizophrenia and related cognitive and neurophysiological sensory gating …

… One challenge, during this stage, is the rapid speed of information provided by widespread
phone and e-mail access. In the near future, one can even expect that individual soldiers will …

Central nervous system inhibitory neuronal mechanisms were assessed in clinically stable
chronic schizophrenic patients treated with neuroleptic drugs to provide data for comparison …

Background The α7 neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit gene(CHRNA7) has
been implicated as a candidate gene for schizophrenia, and for an auditory sensory …
