Explanation:

Although you did not specify that your question is associated with the origin of schizophrenia in people, we can see that this is the main topic of your question, due to its context. This is because scientists have been striving to find the origin of this disease, in order to be able to combat it in the early stages.

Because of this lack of evidence, filmmakers have focused on associating the origin of the disease with the sensitivity of the dopamine receptor and not with the dopain itself.
