Biological Explanations for Schizophrenia [AQA ALevel]

If you want to improve your psychological knowledge in a way that is more fun than just studying and trying to memorise, I recommend reading a popular science book. You will be surprised how often the ideas in these books pop up in your actual course! And you’re far more likely to actually understand these ideas having read about their wider context.

My top 10 psychology(ish) books for psychology students.

The links to these books are affiliate links, you don’t pay more if you use the link and decide to buy! But I do earn a small fee that goes towards funding Psych Boost!

This video includes:Biological explanations for schizophrenia: genetics and neural correlates, including the dopamine hypothesis.

Great video, thank you! One correction though, I believe that at 1:04 it is called polygenic rather than polygenetic

Just so everyone knows i believe something may have been added to the genetic basis of SZ because in my textbook it consists of: Family/twin studies, candidate genes and the role of mutation (the last one wasnt mentioned)

The book i have says the ripki study was 37000 not 36000, which is true?
