The first, but too simple, theory of schizophrenia involved dopamine. What was this theory?
It has long been thought that symptoms of schizophrenia are caused by excess levels of dopamine in the brain, particularly in the prefrontal cortex and the limbic system. This theory was supported by the evidence that drugs that tend to reduce the symptoms of schizophrenia (phenothiazines, neuroleptics) block the reuptake of dopamine, drugs that increase the functional level of dopamine in the brain (amphetamines) tend to increase the incidence of positive symptoms of schizophrenia, and neuroimaging studies suggest the presence of more dopamine receptors in some areas of the brain in people with schizophrenia.
