it is likely that an imbalance in the complex interrelated chemical reactions of the brain involving the neurotransmitters dopamine and glutamate (and possibly others) plays a role in schizophrenia. neurotransmitters are substances that allow brain cells to communicate with one another. basic knowledge about brain chemistry and its link to schizophrenia is expanding rapidly and is a promising area of research.
do people with schizophrenia have faulty brain chemistry?
