Dopamine receptor alteration in schizophrenia: neuroendocrine evidence.

abstract：RATIONALE:There is an emerging body of evidence that implicates a crucial role of γ-aminobutyric acid subtype A (GABAA) receptors in modulating the rewarding effects of a number of abused drugs. Modulation of GABAA receptors may therefore represent a novel drug-class independent mechanism for the development of abuse t...
