Schizophrenia & Neurological Basis – Understanding the brain changes.

[willams lader]

Understanding brain changes involves studying neuroplasticity, neurotransmitter imbalances, and structural alterations in conditions like Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, and brain injuries to develop effective treatments and improve cognitive function.

Schizophrenia is a complex mental disorder linked to brain structure and neurotransmitter imbalances. Neurological changes include altered dopamine and glutamate activity, reduced gray matter, and disrupted post surgery care connectivity in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. Understanding these brain changes helps in developing targeted treatments, including medications and cognitive therapies, to manage symptoms and improve patients' quality of life.
