Typically, the temporal lobe and limbic system are involved in schizophrenia. Lesions, malformations, or simply dysfunction in dopaminergic neurons of these areas of the brain can result in the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
Since excess dopaminergic activity is indicative of schizophrenia, antipsychotic drugs that block dopamine receptors are the usual treatment for this illness.
