The most frequently cited possible cause of mental illnesses is an abnormal hyperactivity of the dopamine neurotransmitter system in the brain. Neuroleptics inhibit dopamine nerve transmission in the frontal lobes and in the limbic system—the emotion-regulating brain structures. Inhibiting this portion of the brain causes diffuse CNS depression and disrupts an individual s behavior entirely—reducing psychotic thoughts, perceptions, and agitation. 

Interestingly, the D KO, despite hypotension, had no change in basal serum catecholamines. After stress, serum catecholamines increased less than in WT mice (17), raising the possibility that the D somehow regulates brain sympathetic outflow. In any case, studies of sympathetic activity in these KO models will be very interesting because changed sympathetic activity is the most likely compensatory change in all KO models. In summary, there was evidence for lower BP in the A KO and D KO but not the B KO.

Substance P (SP) is a naturally occurring neurokinin receptor (NK2) agonist. NK2 is a transmembrane protein receptor of the GPCR-type which regulates brain functions related to depression and anxiety. Substance P is an intensively investigated natural ligand the amino acid sequence of SP is shown in Fig. 4.6. SP has an affinity constant of Ki = 295 nM to its receptor. 

As mentioned previously, serotonin has been shown to play a role in regulating brain growth [1]. Changes in serotonin synthesis, serotonergic innervation and serotonin receptor density may all influence brain development.

The prostaglandins in the nervous system have been implicated to have physiological roles in temperature regulation, brain circulation and possibly in neuromodulation [201], The administration of prostaglandins of the E-series intraventricularly has been shown to have sedative effects in rodents and chickens [216]. In the mouse, a dose-dependent inhibition of picotoxin and pentahazol induced convulsion was observed [217,218]. In the cat prostaglandins inhibited penicillin induced seizures [219]. The mechanism of the anticonvulsive action of PGE compounds is not clear.
