Paper Summary:
This paper looks at the imbalance of dopamine in neurological disorders and attempts to explain why they occur and the treatments that are used to combat them. It also examines how it is specific to disorders caused by imbalances in dopamine levels such as schizophrenia.From the Paper:
"Antagonism of dopamine receptors leads to interference with normal functioning of these pathways, bringing about unwanted side effects as well as the desired antipsychotic effect. By dopaminergic antagonism (blocking the dopamine receptor sites) of the mesolimbic mesocortical pathway it is thought that typical neuroleptics exert their antipsychotic effects. The side effects of mesolimbic and mesocortical dopaminergic inhibition are sedation and impaired performance."More papers on Doperminergic Neurotransmission:
