摘要
Diminished activity within the prefrontal cortex (PFC) has been associated with many of the cognitive deficits that are observed in schizophrenia. It has been hypothesized that antipsychotic drugs (APDs) used to treat schizophrenia restore normal activity by antagonizing the dopamine (DA) D2 receptor, which is also known to modulate key ionic currents in the PFC. However, the hypothesis that an under-active cortical DA system is responsible for schizophrenic symptoms has been challenged by evidence that newer atypical APDs are weak antagonists at the D2 receptor but potent antagonists at the serotonin (5-HT) 2A receptor [57]. This review examines how DA and 5-HT modulate cortical activity and how they may interact in ways that are relevant to schizophrenia. It is concluded that although D2 receptor antagonism remains a critical factor in restoring impaired cortical activity, effects on 5-HT receptors may act in a synergistic manner on NMDA and GABA currents to potentiate antipsychotic actions in the PFC.
