It was first hypothesised in the early 1980s that schizophrenia was caused by dysfunctional synapses - where the nerve signals are transmitted between neurons in the brain. However, researchers had only been able to study this indirectly, such as in post mortem brains samples, or animal and cell models in the lab.
In this study, published in Nature Communications, the researchers detected this in living brains for the first time by utilising a tracer that emits a signal which can be picked up by a PET brain scan. After being injected, the tracer binds specifically to a protein found in synapses called SV2A (synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A), which has been shown in animal and post-mortem studies to be a good marker of the density of synaptic nerve endings in the brain.
They scanned 18 adults with schizophrenia and compared them to 18 people without schizophrenia.
They found that levels of the synaptic protein SV2A were lower in the front parts of the brain - regions of the brain involved in planning - in people with schizophrenia.
