Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the dorsal prefrontal cortex of schizophrenic brains, glutamic acid decarboxylase, the major enzyme in gamma-aminobutyric acid GABA biosynthesis, is diminished, which likely impairs synaptic performance and cognitive and behavioral functions associated with this brain region. Dopamine levels may be elevated in schizophrenia; however a current view questions whether dopamine is altered in this way. Acetylecholine is a neurotransmitter working at neuromuscular connections. Serotonin levels are diminished in depression.
