What method(s) below deal with the excessive dopamine levels seen in Schizophrenia?
Blocking D2 receptors decreases post-synaptic binding
Activating Glutamate (NMDA) receptors: leads to increased GABA release that inhibits dopamine release
Activating GABA (NMDA) receptors: leads to increased Glutamate release that inhibits dopamine release
Blocking D2 receptors lowers the amount of dopamine released from the cell
Blocking D2 receptors decreases presynaptic binding
Blocking Glutamate (NMDA) receptors: leads to increased GABA release that inhibits dopamine release
D2 receptors are G-protein Excessive neurotransmission of dopamine and imbalance between dopaminergic pathways that signal D2 and D1 receptors play a huge role in both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia
Blocking D2 receptors decreases post-synaptic binding of dopamine thus reducing the dopaminergic neurotransmission leading to target of action of Dopamine receptors are essential in the treatment schizophrenia.
Blocking D2 receptors decreases post-synaptic binding of dopamine to help reduce excess levels of dopamine, and to thus help alleviate the positive symptoms of the disorder.
