would _research has implicated that a number of candidate genes implicated in schizophrenia act on the production of DA or DA receptors_ be enough for an explanation point
I would say that by itself it's slightly vague. If you are writing an evaluation point I would add more information using some research on genetic vulnerability (e.g. Gottesman) and if you are writing an outline point I would add detail by perhaps talking about the fact it is polygenic, or maybe referring to research by Ripke and the fact he found 108 gene variations. It doesn't really matter how you do it, but you need more detail that you currently have. Hope that helps. Thanks
not related to the question but we probably wont get a 16 marker on this as it has been a 16 marker in the past three times, and other topics have never shown up as a 16 marker
So in summary the dopamine hypothesis states SZ is a result of an excess of DA in the mesolimbic pathway? or is the mesolimbic pathway just one section of the brain. does it includee the auditory area and broca's area etc?
The Mesolimbic pathway is a dopamine pathway in the brain. It’s involved in things like rewards, or motivation. It doesn’t specifically include auditory areas, but research suggests that elevated levels of dopamine in these areas can exacerbate experiences like auditory hallucinations. Hope that helps

This might be the most confusing topic yet but you do a great job explaining
Do you have a video on treatments for schizophrenia?
The research on this video has been so helpful in finding research for my uni essay on schizophrenia!
I’m really pleased. Thanks for commenting and letting me know 👍👍

so if we get the 16 on dopamine hypothesis do we need to talk a bit of synaptic transmission but in the context of schizophrenia to enhance the a01?

could we use an application to treatment as an evaluation?
Really helpful video :)
Thank you for this!
You are very welcome. Biological treatments and psychological explanations are also coming soon. Thanks for the comment.
thank you so much :)
