Schizophrenia is a very complex mental disease. It is actually quite possible that various mechanisms may end up producing similar symptoms. Several neurotransmitter systems have been implicated: dopamine, glutamate and GABA. Most of the hypotheses focus on synapses and receptors activated by those neurotransmitters. Let us try to think differently and forget the receptors for the moment: what would happen if an important inactivating system - such as glutamate transport in glial cells - was altered? How would it affect glutamatergic neurotransmission? Could a specific alteration in the expression of a particular glutamate transporter explain signs and symptoms of schizophrenia? The publications listed below should provide necessary background and additional references which should help to answer the above questions.
