Abstract:
A number of studies indicate that the glutamate signal transduction system is closely related with the oc-currence of mental disorders. A glutamate pathway in the central nervous system, especially in the hippocampus neu-ron, plays an important role in neuron growth and synaptic plasticity. In this paper, the relationship of glutamate sig-naling pathway in the hippocampus and the incidence of schizophrenia is reviewed by exploring the structure and function of the hippocampus in order to better understand the pathogenesis of schizophrenia.
