Nucleus accumbens Striatum Atypical Antipsychotics: MoA Substantia nigra Positive symptoms.. similar to typical antipsychotics affect D in mesolimbic pathway Hypothalamus Tegmentum Other effects; In mesocortical and nigrostriatal pathways 5-HT2 receptors mediate presynaptic inhibition of dopamine release Blockade of these receptors by atypical antipsychotic drugs may increase dopamine release in these pathways In the mesocortical pathway may alleviate the negative symptoms In the nigrostriatal pathway counteracts the EPSs caused by D2 receptor blockade

One way that Parkinsonian side effects from antipsychotic medications can be treated is… A. With anticholinergic drugs, like Cogentin B. By adding second dopamine blocker from the phenothiazine class (because these effects are due to receptor super sensitivity). C. With drugs that increase acetylcholine to balance the effects of dopamine blockage. D. By adding an atypical antipsychotic to the traditional neuroleptic medications.
