Dopamine is most involved in schizophrenia.
Dopamine is the main one, although GABA and glutamate have also been implicated.
Elevated dopamine levels are implicated in schizophrenia.
Many researchers think that increased levels of dopamine are related to schizophrenia.

An over-abundance of dopamine is thought to contribute to the development of schizophrenia.

Although it was once thought that a bad childhood could cause schizophrenia, the current understanding of schizophrenia is of a primarily neurological disease.
This is true. The root word "schizo" means "split". This is why many people associate multiple personality disorder ("split" personalities) with schizophrenia. However, the "split" refers to the split between the mind and the rest of the world. The thought processes are no longer logical.
Yes, it does! :)
Psychosocial factors are now thought to influence the expression or severity of schizophrenia, rather than cause it directly.
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by delusions, agitation, and disorganized speech and thinking. It is classified as a "thought disorder".
Paranoid schizophrenia is the most common form of schizophrenia. It is manifested primarily through impaired thought processes, in which the central focus is on distorted perceptions or paranoid behavior and thinking.
Disorganized schizophrenia refers to a subtype of schizophrenia in which the patient suffers disorganized thought process, behavior, and emotions. Certain criteria have to be met according to the DSM (diagnositc and statistic manual for mental disorders).
Imbalances in serotonin (a neurotransmitter) are thought to play a part in Migraine genesis.
This is dopamine. This neurotransmitter is responsible for the feelings of happiness and pleasure in your body so stimulating it can lead to addiction.
The binding of a neurotransmitter to a dendrite will cause one these three things to happen:excitement (stimulation)inhibition (stop activity)modulation (change activity by slowing it or increasing it)It all depends on the neurotransmitter. Neurotransmitter are means by which neurons communicate with one another. There are more than 30 compounds known to be neurotransmitters, and dozens of others are thought to be so.
