CSF monoamine metabolites in melancholia.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the reduced concentrations of 5‐HIAA and HVA in the melancholic patients may be due to altered serotonin and/or dopamine functions in the central nervous system, which may be connected with an increased vulnerability to certain types of affective illness.

Serum levels of anticholinergic drugs in treatment of acute extrapyramidal side effects.

TL;DR: There was a highly significant inverse correlation between the presence of acute extrapyramidal side effects due to neuroleptics and the serum levels of anticholinergics.

Homovanillic Acid Measurement in Clinical Research: A Review of Methodology

TL;DR: Many factors must be considered in studies employing HVA as a possible index of central DA neuronal activity and the need for further methodological work is indicated to improve the use of body fluid HVA measurements in clinical research.

Retarded depression and the dopamine metabolism.

TL;DR: Findings suggest a decreased consumption of dopamine in the brain in retarded depression, which might be understood as an indication that, disorders of cerebral dopamine metabolism are related not so much to a specific nosological entity as to a given motor status, possibly that of hypokinesia.

[Distribution of noradrenaline and dopamine (3-hydroxytyramine) in the human brain and their behavior in diseases of the extrapyramidal system].

TL;DR: The distribution of noradrenaline and dopamine in human adult and newborn brains has been investigated in this paper, where the greatest amounts of dopamine were found in the hypothalamus, the central gray matter of the mesencephalon, the reticular formation and in the area postrema.

A Survey of Drug-Induced Extrapyramidal Reactions

Frank J. Ayd
- 25 Mar 1961 - 
TL;DR: Drug-induced striopallidal symptoms can be adequately treated with antiparkinsonian drugs and a close parallel was found between drug-induced and naturally occurring extrapyramidal reactions.
