摘要
Recent postmortem and functional imaging studies have revealed that cerebellar abnormalities may play a role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Cerebellum is a part of the cortical-subcortical-cerebellar circuitry that is involved in higher cognitive functions. Deficits in cognition, including information, executive functions, attention, emotion, and memory have been described in patients with schizophrenia. Given the pivotal role of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathways in regulation of neuronal function and especially the role of extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK) in synaptic plasticity, cell survival, learning and memory, the importance of MAP kinases in schizophrenia is being increasingly recognized. In this mini-review is summarized recent evidence from human postmortem studies and the phencyclidine (PCP) pharmacological model of schizophrenia that ERK signaling pathway could contribute to the pathogenic events that occur in the cerebellum in schizophrenia.
