Hypofunction of glutamatergic neurons has been hypothesized to caused schizophrenia. For example, see conclusions from the symposium entitled, "Not Just Dopamine Any More: Emerging Glutamatergic Therapies for Schizophrenia," (Toronto, 2006) http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/537385
Calcium deficiency may be a predisposing or causative factor in schizophrenia ?
This concept is based on the demonstration that „NMDA receptor hypofunction“ can be based on calcium-deficiency, potentiated by nutritional hypoproteinemia - see website www.bse-expert.cz ; chapter “Hyperfunction (Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson disease) and hypofunction (schizophrenia) of glutamatergic neurons”.
