- Schizophrenia
- Biological explanations
- structural abnormalities
- enlarged ventricles
- they're cavities that form and produce and transport cerebrospinal fluid
- some schizophrenic individuals have deeper ventricles
- this has been shown through CAT scans and MRI scans
- some schizophrenic individuals have deeper ventricles
- they're cavities that form and produce and transport cerebrospinal fluid
- cortical atrophy
- this is the loss of nerons in the cerebral cortex
- this affects cognitive functions
- enlarged ventricles
- dopamine hypothesis
- simple - too much dopamine (neurotransmitter) leads to schizophrenic symptoms
- Griffiths induced psychosis in non-schizophrenic volunteers
- they showed an onset of schizophrenic symptoms. they became cold and distant as they were experiencing delusions
- the participants were administered dextro-amphetamine
- all the symptoms were negative, so doesn't prove the causes of positive symptoms
- dopamine receptors and could in the cerebral cortex and limbic system
- Seaman and Lee showed the impact of antipsychotics had on the D2 receptors
- the limbic system has subcortical structures responsible for emotion and memory formation
- mesocortical pathway
- sends signals FROM the ventral tegumental area TO the frontal cortex
- this is key in emotional responses
- Davies said lower dopamine in the D1 receptor presented negative symptoms
- sends signals FROM the ventral tegumental area TO the frontal cortex
- mesolimbic pathway
- signals from the ventral tegmental area TO the nucleas accumbens
- too much dopamine results positive symptoms
- signals from the ventral tegmental area TO the nucleas accumbens
- structural abnormalities
- Individual differences
- psychodyna-mic approach
- The cognitive approach
- Social factors

- they're perceptions that aren't real

- delusions
- negative synptomn
- alogeia
- the loss of speech
- this can be completely, or just with certain words
- the loss of speech
- anhedonia
- they act inappropriately to certain situations
- catatonic behaviour
- frantic and rapid movements may occur. the person seems overly active. they usually make odd facial expressions snd impromptu noises
- avolition
- they show no interest in their usual activities

- this is when they show no emotion at all. they'll take as they usually do, but with no physical or mental emotion
- alogeia
- Disordered thinking

- their speech is usually fast and jumbles, getting things muddled up
