Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The phosphoinositide 3'-kinase (PI3K)--protein kinase B (AKT1)--glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3β system is modulated by several factors implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Evidence suggests that neuregulin 1 (NRG1) induces decreased AKT phosphorylation in schizophrenia relative to healthy controls, which may be related to dysfunctional neurodevelopment and neuroplasticity. The aim of...
