psychotics may alter sympathetic
nervous system function
Manifestations include increased
muscle metabolism and tone (due to

This document provides an overview of dopamine, including its history, synthesis, receptors, functions, pathways, and relevance to various psychiatric and neurological conditions. Some key points: - Dopamine is a catecholamine neurotransmitter synthesized from the amino acid tyrosine. It acts through D1-D5 G protein-coupled receptors. - Major dopaminergic pathways include the mesocortical, mesolimbic, nigrostriatal, and tuberoinfundibular pathways which are involved in cognition, reward, movement, and prolactin regulation respectively. - Dopamine plays a role in schizophrenia, mood disorders, attention deficit disorders, substance abuse, and movement disorders like Parkinson's disease
