Abstract
Schizophrenic individuals display disrupted myelination patterns, altered oligodendrocyte distribution, and abnormal oligodendrocyte morphology. Schizophrenia is linked with dysregulation of a variety of genes involved in oligodendrocyte function and myelin production. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and rare mutations in myelination-related genes are observed in certain schizophrenic populations, representing potential genetic risk factors. Downregulation of myelination-related RNAs and proteins, particularly in frontal and limbic regions, is consistently associated with the disorder across multiple studies. These findings support the notion that disruptions in myelination may contribute to the cognitive and behavioral impairments experienced in schizophrenia, although further evidence of causation is needed.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Neurochemistry focuses on molecular, cellular and biochemical aspects of the nervous system, the pathogenesis of neurological disorders and the development of disease specific biomarkers. It is devoted to the prompt publication of original findings of the highest scientific priority and value that provide novel mechanistic insights, represent a clear advance over previous studies and have the potential to generate exciting future research.
