Abstract: | Despite evidence from a variety of experimental approaches implicating the neuropeptide neurotensin in both the mechanism of action of antipsychotic drugs and the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, there has been some debate as to whether a peripherally administered neurotensin receptor agonist represents a sound strategy for the development of a novel class of antipsychotic drugs. |
