Hey guys

saw the sonic movie a day early yesterday, it was pretty good, the fans there were kinda noisy but were quiet for most of the movie after the first 10 minutes. I got a keychain of sonicā€™s face and a poster. My brother got a shadow keychain instead (we got a choice of 4 characters). Jim Carrey was great in it, heā€™s a real asset to these movies.

amc does these fan events for stubs monthly members so they are free, and we get free swag, and the movie is a day before premiere date. The best one so far was the Alien Romulus one.

Iā€™m curious what are delusions caused by and why antipsychotics work on them??

I always thought medication work on receptors in the brain.

According to current research, the primary brain receptor associated with schizophrenia is the dopamine D2 receptor; an overactivity of these receptors in certain brain regions is considered a key factor in the development of psychotic symptoms like hallucinations and delusions, often referred to as the ā€œdopamine hypothesisā€ of schizophrenia.

Key points about dopamine and schizophrenia:

  • Increased D2 receptor activity:

Studies have shown elevated levels of D2 receptors in the brains of individuals with schizophrenia, particularly in the mesolimbic pathway, which is involved in reward processing.

  • Antipsychotic medication mechanism:

Most antipsychotic medications work by blocking dopamine D2 receptors, which helps to alleviate psychotic symptoms.

  • Beyond dopamine:

While dopamine is considered central, other neurotransmitters like glutamate, through its NMDA receptor, are also implicated in schizophrenia, with research suggesting potential dysfunction in the glutamate system could contribute to the disorder.
