A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Melbourne explores the relationship between gene expression changes in the brain and the interaction between the epidermal growth factor (EGF) system and the immune system in individuals with schizophrenia and mood disorders. The study found that there were distinct differences in gene expression patterns in Brodmann's Area 46, a region of the brain associated with cognitive function, between individuals with schizophrenia, mood disorders, and neurotypical controls. These findings suggest that there may be a significant interaction between immune system signaling and EGF signaling in the development of the brain in response to environmental stressors. Further research is needed to fully understand the implications of these findings. [Extracted from the article] |
