Central Nervous System
The central nervous system consists of the brain and the spinal cord and is responsible for our basic functions, personality and behaviour.

Dopamine (DA)
Almost a million nerve cells in the brain contain dopamine.
Role in complex movement cognition motor control emotional responses such as
euphoria or pleasure.
Newer antipsychotic medication focus on particular dopaminergic pathways in the brain. Lessening EPSE’s.
![Page 38: Lobes of the brain (forebrain) Midbrain/ Hindbrain Protection and Blood Supply Structure and Functions of a Neuron Synaptic Transmission Neurotransmitters](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649db95503460f94aa937b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Dopamine TheoryThe dopamine hypothesis
of psychosis – overactivity of dopamine neurons in the mesolimbic pathway of the brain may mediate the positive symptoms of psychosis
Mesolimbic pathway responsible for pleasure, effects of drugs and alcohol and hallucinations and delusions
![Page 39: Lobes of the brain (forebrain) Midbrain/ Hindbrain Protection and Blood Supply Structure and Functions of a Neuron Synaptic Transmission Neurotransmitters](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649db95503460f94aa937b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Five subtypes – D2 most important in terms of psychosis
Blockade of mesolimbic receptors leads to reduced psychotic symptoms
Blockade of the mesocortical pathway leads to increased negative symptoms
Dopamine Receptors
![Page 40: Lobes of the brain (forebrain) Midbrain/ Hindbrain Protection and Blood Supply Structure and Functions of a Neuron Synaptic Transmission Neurotransmitters](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649db95503460f94aa937b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Dopamine and acetylcholine have a reciprocal relationship-Blockade of dopamine receptors increases the
activity of acetylcholineOver activity of acetylcholine causes EPSEBlockade of dopamine causes movement
disorders in the nigostriatal pathwayLong term blockade causes “upregulation” and
leads to Tardive Dyskinesia
Dopamine Receptors

Serotonin (5ht)Believed to be one of the
great influences on behaviour.
Complex neurotransmitter.Surprisingly only 2% of
serotonin is found in CNS.Roles include
Vasoconstriction, gastrointestinal regulation.
Low serotonin associated with
aggression, suicide, impulsive eating, anxiety and low mood.
Regulates general activity of the CNS, particularly sleep.
Delusions, hallucinations and some of the negative symptoms of schizophrenia.

Glutamate is found in all cells of the body control the opening of ion channels that allow
calcium to pass into nerve cells producing impulses
Blocking of glutamate receptors produces psychotic symptoms ( eg. By PCP) schizophrenic like symptoms
Over exposure of neurons to glutamate cause cell death seen in stroke and Huntington’s disease (PN).

HistamineFound in the posterior
hypothalamus.Believed to be involved
in the regulation of the sleeping and waking states.
Histaminergic cells fire rapidly during waking and slowly during periods of relaxation and tiredness. Cease transmission during REM and non-REM sleep

Type Location Function
H1 Histamine Receptor
Found on smooth muscle, endothelium, and CNS tissue

PharmacogeneticsThe variability in response to modern multi-
target drugs suggests a complex trait in which several genes may play a part in the bodies response to drugs.
Reported associations between polymorphic receptors for metabolic enzymes and treatment response confirm this hypothesis
These results can be taken as evidence of the genomic influence in drug response

Body membranes affecting drug distribution: Capillaries
General body capillaries allow drug molecules to pass freely into the surrounding tissue.
![Page 68: Lobes of the brain (forebrain) Midbrain/ Hindbrain Protection and Blood Supply Structure and Functions of a Neuron Synaptic Transmission Neurotransmitters](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649db95503460f94aa937b/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Brain capillaries have a dense walled structure & are surrounded by glial cells (lipid). This prevents many drug molecules from entering the surrounding tissue.

Termination of drug action.Metabolism:
Detoxification or breakdown. Enzymes (Cytochrome P450) in liver cells transform drug from fat soluble to water soluble.
Elimination: removal
of drug from body. Most via kidney’s, lungs & G.I. Tract (small amounts) nature.com

Drug receptor interaction: drug concentrated at the site of action.
Effect (body responses): Therapeutic effects, intoxication & side effects.
The effect will vary depending on age, gender & health of person, plus the route, frequency of use, duration of use and the environment in which the drug is consumed.
