- Haloperidol is a rather "old" dopamine blocker (=antagonist).
- As I understand it, it doesn't differentiate between D1 and D2
- receptors and in certain systems atleast, it has cross reactivity
- with serotonin.
-
- The reason I'm asking? We recently did some experiments in which
- Haloperidol reduced a rather interesting neuophysiological process
- (maybe you'll read about it in Science? :-) Anyway, I would
- appreciate any info on Halperidol that the wizards on bionet.neuroscience
- care to share.
-
- Thanks. (and Merry Christmas :-)
