Difference between Antipsychotic and Mesocortical pathway

Antipsychotic vs. Mesocortical pathway

Antipsychotics, also known as neuroleptics or major tranquilizers, are a class of medication primarily used to manage psychosis (including delusions, hallucinations, paranoia or disordered thought), principally in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The mesocortical pathway is a dopaminergic pathway that connects the ventral tegmentum to the prefrontal cortex.

Similarities between Antipsychotic and Mesocortical pathway

Antipsychotic and Mesocortical pathway have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Dopamine, Dopaminergic pathways, Mesolimbic pathway, Nigrostriatal pathway, Psychosis, Schizophrenia, Tuberoinfundibular pathway.

Dopamine

Dopamine (DA, a contraction of 3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine) is an organic chemical of the catecholamine and phenethylamine families that plays several important roles in the brain and body.

Dopaminergic pathways

Dopaminergic pathways, sometimes called dopaminergic projections, are the sets of projection neurons in the brain that synthesize and release the neurotransmitter dopamine.

Mesolimbic pathway

The mesolimbic pathway, sometimes referred to as the reward pathway, is a dopaminergic pathway in the brain.

Nigrostriatal pathway

The nigrostriatal pathway or the nigrostriatal bundle (NSB), is a dopaminergic pathway that connects the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) with the dorsal striatum (i.e., the caudate nucleus and putamen).

Psychosis

Psychosis is an abnormal condition of the mind that results in difficulties telling what is real and what is not.

Tuberoinfundibular pathway

The tuberoinfundibular pathway refers to a population of dopamine neurons that project from the arcuate nucleus (the "infundibular nucleus") in the tuberal region of the hypothalamus to the median eminence.
