- Tardive Dyskinesia = cause
- Underactivity = Movement disorder - hypokinetic
- Overactivity = BG disturbances = unpurposeful movement (tremor) - Hyperkinetic
Vomiting
- Area Postrema (Emesis Centre in Medulla Oblongata)
- Chemoreceptor trigger zone = senses blood toxicity
- Drugs altering Dopamine levels = Area Postrema = highly sensitive
- High density of Dopamine Receptors
- High Dopamine = Vomit but Dopamine Block = Anti-emesis
