and atypical drugs. Neuroleptic drugs such as Prolixin are conventional drugs that reduce psychotic symptoms but produce some of the symptoms of neurological diseases.

Scientists have not yet solved the mystery of what causes the tremor but they have some good clues. * One of the fundamental causes of Parkinson’s disease is a loss of dopamine in the areas of the brain that support movements. * These movement-related brain sites are organized into circuits that specialize in producing various types of movements. * One of these circuits involves a regulatory brain region known as

The types of excitatory transmitters that could be brought on are dopamine‚ norepinephrine‚ epinephrine or acetylcholine‚ and glutamate. Each one of these is used for something different in the body and include a different process. Like stated before‚ these types of transmitters are transmitted through chemical messengers to the brain. Since we are talking about acetylcholine and dopamine‚ those both have very different functions for the body. One deals with motor skills and

specific way than the previous family‚ they also have a muscarinic and serotonin-like activity that reduces the side effects caused by D2R general blockade. This effect is due to the fact that the serotoninergic and muscarinic systems cause a release of dopamine‚ which lessens the side effects by counteracting the excessive blocking of the other pathways. Nevertheless‚ they do not come without cost. Their most undesired effect is weight gain‚ metabolic syndrome‚ diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease
