Which general anesthetic has a small therapeutic margin (IV)
thiopental
Which IV GA is used for preoperative sedation
midazolam
a higher blood gas coefficient means
higher solubility = slower equilibrium within alveoli

what kind of drugs are weak bases
local anesthetics
GA act on ___ while LA block ___
general: GABAa, 2 pore K+ channels, NMDA block

used for narcolepsy and ADHD
modafinil action and treats
inhibits DAT
treats narcolepsy
do you know that you’re on LSD when you’re on LSD
yes, retained insight into the fact that disturbances are drug induced
can LSD cause long lasting psychopathological changes
yes

PCP causes ____ and ____
psychotic episodes and schizophrenic attacks
what part of amphetamines actions result in their rewarding effect
more DA
schizophrenia’s root cause is what receptor
NMDA receptor hypofunction
NMDA receptor hypofunction on ____ GABAergic interneurons alter cortical processing = cognitive impairment
cortical
what happens if you block D2 in cortex
worsening of negative symptoms
what happens if you block D2 in nigrostriatal pathway
dystonia (sim to PD) and dyskinesia
what happens if you block D2 in mesolimbic pathway
enhanced prolactin secretion + galactorrhea
where would you use a mAchR block for schizophrenia
for motor disturbances
on neuron downstream from cholinergic
on dopaminergic neuron = secretes more dopamine
blocking 5HT2a in mesocortical results in
improved negative symptoms
in the mesolimbic pathway, combined __ and __ receptor antagonism may counteract the increased dopamine function
D2
5HT2a
