What Is a Dopamine Antagonist?
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, or brain chemical, which regulates many physical and emotional processes. Some health disorders involve too low or too high levels of dopamine activity, explain scientists at the Addiction Science Research and Education Center at the University of Texas. A dopamine antagonist, also called a dopamine receptor antagonist, is a useful medication for people with an overactive dopamine system.
