DISCOVERY OF THE FIRST ANTIPSIC�TICO

In 1951 the French psychiatrists Jean Dealy and Pierre Deniker began to administer the clorpromacina to progressively growing dose to sick esquizofr�nicos observing a notable mejoria in these patients.


DISCOVERY OF THE MECHANISM OF ACCI�N OF THE ANTIPSIC�TICOS

In 1972 Paul Greengard demonstrated that the medicines neurol�pticos or antipsic�ticos (in green) are joined and blocked the receivers of dopamina in the neurons postsin�pticas, preventing that the transmitter dopamina is an or couple with these receivers and by so much inhibiting or reducing the transmission of the nervous impulses of caracter dopamin�rgico in the system l�mbico.


CEREBRAL MAP OF THE RICH NEURONS IN DOPAMINA

The rich neurons in dopamina (blue) are grouped in the call kernels of the tegmento.Las prolongations (axones) of these neurons establish connections (sinapsis) with the system l�mbico.Volvemos to recall that this system regula,modula and controls our emotions. We have seen previously that habia a group of rich neurons in noradrenalina (system noradren�rgico) that determine an action energize you. Also there is other group of rich neurons in serotonina (system serotonin�rgico) that produces a general welfare state. Finally there is a group of rich neurons in dopamina (system dopamin�rgico) commissioned with maintaining our thinks and perceptions according to the reality of the middle that us rodea.Posiblemente without an adequate operation of the system dopamin�rgico seriamos unable to distinguishing that perceptions agree with the real world and what are product of our cavilaciones.Es to say this system dopamin�rgico serves to separate - " the wheat " - from the - " straw " - ..Cuando this system is altered as happens in the esquizofrenia and other psychosis appear symptoms as the delirious ideas and the hallucinations.
