Treatment with conventional antipsychotic drugs (APDs) is accompanied by extrapyramidal side effects (EPS), which are thought to be due to striatal dopamine D(2) receptor blockade. In contrast, treatment with atypical APDs is marked by a low incidence or absence of EPS. The reduced motor side effect

We selected 42 patients with bipolar disorder type I (BPI) and 40 healthy controls for genetic analysis of DNA polymorphisms in the serotonin receptor 2c (5-HTR2c) and serotonin transporter (5-HTT) genes. No significant associations were found in the total patient sample. However, when the individua
Dysfunction of serotonin systems has been implicated in schizophrenia. In the present study, the human 5-HT 1A receptor gene containing the 5 untranslated region was screened in order to detect genetic variations, through which alteration of protein function or level of expression might contribute t
Transgenic mice lacking a functional 5-HT 2c receptor gene are extremely susceptible to audiogenic seizures, suggesting that 5-HT 2c receptors mediate inhibition of neuronal network excitability. The present association study tested the hypothesis that a Cys23Ser substitution polymorphism within the
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a neurotransmitter that mediates a wide range of central nervous functions by activating multiple 5-HT receptor subtypes. A possible irregularity of serotonergic neurotransmission has been implicated in a variety of neuropsychiatric diseases. In the present s
