The<unk>  that underlie the development of schizophrenia, a psychiatric disorder, are complex and not clearly understood. A number of hypotheses including the dopamine hypothesis, and the glutamate hypothesis have been put forward in an attempt to explain the link between altered brain function and the symptoms and development of schizophrenia. Proposed models are separate from the proposed causes, which deal with the risk factors that may lead to schizophrenia.
