Abstract

The “D-cell hypothesis”, induced via post-mortem brain research of schizophrenia, shows pathogenesis of paranoid-hallucinatory state at molecular and cellular levels. Two clinical cases with psychotic state are presented to verify “D-cell hypothesis” in explaining pathophysiology of stress-induced paranoid-hallucinatory state due to neural cell stem (NSC) suppression.
