      The ‘Dopamine Hypothesis’ suggests that schizophrenia results from over-activity in the brain dopamine systems. Owen et al. (1978) found increased levels of dopamine and a relative excess of dopamine receptors in the brain tissue of schizophrenic patients.

      The dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia formulated in the sixties states that the symptoms of schizophrenia depend upon the overactivity of the dopaminergic system (Carlsson et al., 1963). The latter would be related to an increased density of dopamine D2 receptors.

      The original version of the dopamine hypothesis suggested that an ..... of dopamine activity may be responsible for schizophrenic symptoms, (hyperdominergia) in sub-cortical regions, e.g. the limbic system (Carlsson and Lindqvit, 1963) but an updated version (Davis, 1991) suggested that although there may be an excess of dopaminergic activity in some brain regions, schizophrenia is also ...

      The dopamine system is overactive in patients with schizophrenia. Dopamine can be converted to norepinephrine, which can be converted to epinephrine. Norepinephrine causes the fight-or-flight response, while epinephrine has the opposite effect.

      It is thought that some of the symptoms of schizophrenia are a result either of an excess of dopamine in the brain or of a super-sensitivity of the dopamine receptors. In either case, schizophrenia is believed to occur as a result of over-activity in parts of the brain controlled by dopamine. Interest in the neurotransmitter dopamine arose when ...

      The downregulation of D1 receptors in the frontal cortex may contribute to the hypoactivity of the mesocortical dopamine system and thus the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. In schizophrenics, there is a correlation between fewer cortical D1 receptors with the severity of negative symptoms and with poor function in frontal executive tasks.
