Monozygotic twins discordant for schizophrenia are discordant for N-CAM and L1 in CSF.

Abstract:

:While schizophrenia has a genetic component, its pathogenesis is unknown. Abnormal concentrations of two cell recognition molecules (CRMs), neural-cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM) and L1 antigen have been described in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with schizophrenia. Studies of monozygotic twins discordant for schizophrenia may help separate genetic and environmental contributions to the disease. In the present study of monozygotic twins discordant for schizophrenia, the affected twins had increased N-CAM and decreased L1 antigen in their CSF. Non-affected twins were not different from normals. Although processes related to genetic instability cannot be entirely ruled out, these results suggest that these abnormalities are not a part of the genetic predisposition to become schizophrenic. Thus the changes in N-CAM and L1 antigen may reflect either the events which precipitated the onset of schizophrenia, or events which are associated with the experience of having the disease.

  • Dopamine receptors in the ventral tegmental area affect motor, but not motivational or reflexive, components of copulation in male rats.

    abstract::Microinjection of apomorphine into the ventral tegmental area (VTA) of male rats was previously shown to delay the onset of copulation and slow its rate, presumably by stimulating impulse-regulating autoreceptors on cell bodies of the A10 mesocorticolimbic dopamine tract. Such stimulation would be expected to slow the...
