Stress-Response Gene Found Hyperactive in Schizophrenia Brains, University of Sydney Study Shows
Source Summary
Researchers at the University of Sydney have identified that a gene responsible for regulating the body's stress response activates more readily in the brains of people with schizophrenia. This finding suggests a potential biological mechanism underlying the condition's neurological basis.
Why it matters
Understanding the genetic basis of stress regulation in schizophrenia may inform new therapeutic approaches targeting this hyperactive gene.
