| Dopamine Hypothesis 1-3 | 1. Phenothiazine effectiveness is highly correlated w/ their capacity to block DA 2. "" often cause Parkinson's symptoms which come from too little DA 3. L-Dopa which relieves Parkinson's sometimes produces schizo. like symptoms |
| DA Hypothesis 4-5 | 4. Amphetimines increase DA and can create paranoid schizophrenic like symptoms 5. DA rich areas of the brain are where the phenothiazines bind |
| Evidence against DA Hypothesis | 1. Phenothiazines not helpful to 1/4 of Schizophrenics 2. "" are nonspecific for schizophrenia 3. "" do their DA blocking w/in hours of administration but symp. relief often take weeks 5."" are often effective only when they get DA levels below normal |
| Twin Studies Concordance Rate | Mz- 48% & 24% Dz- 17% & 8.5% Sibling - 9% & 4.5& Nephew- 4% & 2% Unrelated - 1% & 1% |
