The Nature of Prefrontal Cortical GABA Neuron Alterations in Schizophrenia: Markedly Lower Somatostatin and Parvalbumin Gene Expression Without Missing Neurons
19 Apr 2023
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: In schizophrenia, somatostatin (SST) and parvalbumin (PV) mRNA levels are lower in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), but it remains unclear whether these findings reflect lower transcript levels per neuron, fewer neurons, or both. Distinguishing among these alternatives has implications for understanding the pathogenesis of, and developing new treatments for, DLPFC dysfunction in...
