List the 4 dopaminergic pathways and the associated symptoms in schizophrenia.
- Mesolimbic (VTA to NA) - excessive dopamine > positive symptoms
- Mesocortical (VTA to PFC) - decreased dopamine > negative symiptoms
- Nigrostriatal (SN to striatum) - blockade of DA > EPS/TD
- Tuberoinfundibular pathway (hypothalamus) - blockade of DA - hyperPRL
Antipsychotic effects attributed to D2 receptor antagonism?
+ symptom alleviation
EPS
Endocrine effects

Negative symptom alleviation
Less EPS
