Abstract excerpt
The molecular biological role of the sigma-1 receptor (Sig-1R) has attracted much attention. Evidence suggests that the Sig-1R engaged in modulating NMDA and dopamine receptors is involved in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and the mechanism of psychotropic drug efficacy. However, whether the Sig-1R genotype affects brain function in schizophrenia in vivo remains unknown. We investigated the association...
