Experts at the University of Sydney have found that a gene involved in regulating the body’s response to stress switches on more easily in the brains of people who live with schizophrenia. The study, published in the American Journal of Psychiatry and carried out in collaboration with researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry, looked at the FKBP5 gene and the corresponding FKBP51 protein, which help regulate how strongly the body responds to stress hormones such as cortisol.
