Chronic effects of mianserin on noradrenaline metabolism in the rat brain: evidence for a pre-synaptic alpha-adrenolytic action in vivo.

abstract：:Tardive dyskinesia has been hypothesized to be caused by a neuroleptic-induced dopamine hypersensitivity in the nigrostriatal system. This study evaluated with dopamine antagonists the possibility that such dopamine hypersensitivity extends to the tuberoinfundibular dopamine (TIDA) system, which regulates, by inhibiti...
