Summary
The underlying mechanisms of schizophrenia, a mental disorder characterized by a disintegration of the processes of thinking and of emotional responsiveness, are complex.
A number of theories attempt to explain the link between altered brain function and schizophrenia. One of the most important is the dopamine hypothesis. A leading hypothesis treats schizophrenia as a neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disease.
