New paper models psychosis by administering amphetamines to mice, and concludes the D1 receptor is more important in psychosis.
Relative binding affinities for D1 and D2 of many antipsychotics shown here

There are already 3 antipsychotics on the market that have a D1 binding affinity that is an order of magnitude higher than D2.
- trehalose 3y agoAmphetamine overusage isn't necessarily a great model of psychosis, or at least not of schizophrenia. It induces the "positive symptoms" of schizophrenia, but not so much the "negative symptoms" that can be more disabling and not as responsive to (or even worsened by) antipsychotics.
- topato 3y agoNot to mention many atypicals can worsen amphetamine psychosis. This whole study seems like an utter waste.
