Description
Cemal Demirlek and Paulo Lizano wrote a 2026 comment on a bold new theory of schizophrenia. The theory holds that unstable dopamine signals in the retina, the eye's light-sensing layer, start a chain that ends in the illness. It pulls together eye changes, immune pruning of brain links, and growth of new links.
The theory wins praise for joining facts that are usually kept apart and for making claims that tests can prove wrong. Demirlek and Lizano still find the proof thin. They ask for stronger data before the eye is moved to the center of the story. Their reply shows how a field should greet a grand new idea.
