  • Title: [Dopamine D2 and serotonin 5HT2 receptors: functions, interactions and clinical consequences in schizophrenia].
    Author: Guise S, Soubrouillard C, Blin O.
    Journal: Encephale; 1997 Apr; 23 Spec No 2():10-6. PubMed ID: 9273300.
    Abstract:
    This didactic paper reviews the different receptors families, the principal characteristics of the dopaminergic and serotoninergic receptors and their role in the aetiology and pathophysiology of schizophrenia. The current knowledge on interactions between serotoninergic and dopaminergic systems is also summarized. The theoretical and potential interests of these interactions in alleviating neuroleptic-induced extrapyramidal symptoms and improving negative signs in schizophrenia are also examined.
