Neuroscience perspectives
Content:
Neuroscience Perspectives provides multidisciplinary reviews of topics in one of the most diverse and rapidly changing fields in the life sciences. Whether you are a new recruit to neuroscience, or an established expert, look to this series for 'one-stop' sources of the historical, physiological, pharmacological, biochemical, molecular biological and therapeutic aspects of chosen research areas
Content:
Over the past 40 years, the effectiveness of conventional neuroleptic agents for psychotic illness has been offset by a wide range of adverse side-effects, including movement disorders like parkinsonism and akathisia; although, in many cases, these can be minimised by titration to the minimum effective dose
Content:
However, the introduction of the atypical neuroleptic, clozapine, with a lower liability for motor side-effects, and efficacy for both positive and negative symptoms in patients unresponsive to conventional neuroleptics raised expectations of effective medication with fewer adverse effects. Further, with the identification and characterization of multiple dopamine receptors, the possibility of more selective drugs with an inherently better side-effect potential has arisen
