How Dopamine Dysregulation Impacts Schizophrenia

See the full course here: https://psychscene.co/3DO6RcH In this video, we’ll explore how dopamine dysregulation in the dorsal striatum, particularly within the associative and motor circuits, contributes to cognitive, emotional, and motor symptoms of schizophrenia. Discover the distinct roles of D1 and D2 receptors, and how their imbalance affects treatment response and symptom presentation. What you’ll learn: • The role of the dorsolateral and dorsomedial striatum in schizophrenia • How goal-directed vs habitual behaviours are affected by striatal dopamine circuits • The clinical implications of D1–D2 receptor dynamics • How recent evidence informs the efficacy of antipsychotic treatments This video is essential for psychiatrists, mental health clinicians, and healthcare professionals seeking to integrate neuroscience into schizophrenia diagnosis and treatment. #Schizophrenia #PsychiatryEducation #Neuroscience #DopaminePathways
