Preview 2 out of 5 pages

NRNP 6635 Final Exam – Schizophrenia-Updated Genetic and environmental risk factors appear to act via a common pathway of disrupting the function of 1 or more neurotransmitter components. Dopaminergic theory: Almost all drugs with antipsychotic properties block the dopaminergic D2 receptor. However, antipsychotics are only 70% effective and clozapine, the most effective antipsychotic for treating schizophrenia, is a weak D2 antagonist. Hyperactivity of dopamine D2 receptor neurotransmission in subcortical, and limbic brain regions contribute to the positive symptoms of schizophrenia. Hypo functionality of dopamine D1 receptor neurotransmission in the prefrontal cortex contributes to both negative and cognitive symptoms. - CORRECT ANSWERS-Pathophysiology of schizophrenia part 1 Other theories: Hypofunction of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor. Dysfunctional gamma-amino-butyric acid (GABA) interneurons. Dysfunctional nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. - CORRECT ANSWERS-Pathophysiology of schizophrenia part 2 Patients with schizophrenia also have physical abnormalities of the brain tissue, which can be seen in neuroimaging studies. Loss of cortical tissue volume, including the limbic system, prefrontal cortex, thalamus, hippocampus, and amygdala. Ventricular enlargement (third and lateral). Decreased symmetry. Hypoactivity of the frontal lobes and hyperactivity of the basal ganglia. - CORRECT ANSWERS-Physical abnormalities of the brain in schizophrenia Impairment of thoughts and affect, characterized by a distorted perception of reality. The impairments are severe enough to affect the patient's ability to participate in social events or to form relationships. Patients with schizophrenia often lack awareness about their illness (insight). Co-existing substance use disorder and dependence is common ("dual diagnosis"). Symptoms can be classified into premorbid, positive, negative, and cognitive. - CORRECT ANSWERS-Clinical Presentation of schizophrenia Easy to recognize. Delusions: 1. False, fixed beliefs maintained by the patient despite being contradicted by reality or logical arguments
