Dopamine is needed to gate incoming stimuli.To little dopamine causes psychosis.The hippocamus also needs Dopamine.THe brain has 3 neurochemical release systems .Cigarates work on the quick release ion system.The second messenger system appears to be defective.Fish oil may help to rebuild the brain damage.Looks like loss of brain matter with enlargement of ventricals.I belive it is inherited in some cases.Could have many causes.
