Antagonists4
antipsychotics are often dopamine receptor antagonists while psychostimulants are typically indirect agonists of dopamine receptors. (wikipedia.org)
Unfortunately, toxicological problems have led to concerns or even the discontinued development of a number of putative CNS medications that capitalized on our improved understanding of brain function, such as corticotropin-releasing factor 1 receptor antagonists (Steckler and Dautzenberg, 2006), glutamate receptor antagonists (Sveinbjornsdottir et al .

When selective activation of this receptor is desired in scientific research, the non-selective serotonin receptor agonist 5-Carboxamidotryptamine can be used in conjunction with selective antagonists for its other targets (principally 5-HT 1A , 5-HT 1B , 5-HT 1D , and 5-HT 7 ). (wikipedia.org)

Abnormal2
Abnormal dopamine receptor signaling and dopaminergic nerve function is implicated in several neuropsychiatric disorders. (wikipedia.org)
In psychosis, the dopaminergic transmission in the mesolimbic system is dysregulated and stimuli induce inappropriate dopamine release, leading to an abnormal salience of both external and internal stimuli, whereby insignificant events and stimuli grab the attention of the patient. (medscape.com)
Dopaminergic3
Specifically, schizophrenia seems associated with a 14% increase in the striatal presynaptic dopaminergic synthesis capacity, as revealed by 18 F/ 11 C-DOPA PET studies in patients versus controls (for updated meta-analyses, see [ 27 , 41 ] ). (medscape.com)
Disturbed dopaminergic function, with presynaptic striatal hyperdopaminergia, is the most replicated neurochemical finding in psychosis, and all antipsychotic drugs antagonize dopaminergic transmission at the dopaminergic type 2 (D 2 ) receptors in the CNS. (medscape.com)
Later versions of the dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia have emphasized much more complex alterations in the dopaminergic system than mere hyperdopaminergic functioning in the striatum. (medscape.com)
Proteins2
