Background: Clozapine is the only medication licenced for treating patients with treatment-refractory schizophrenia. However, there are no evidence-based guidelines as to the optimal plasma level of clozapine to aim for, and their association with ...

Leukopenia and agranulocytosis in atypical antipsychotic treatment - besides clozapine
Introduction Leukopenia and agranulocytosis are reported and dangerous haematological side-effects associated with the use of antipsychotics, mostly reported for clozapine administration.

The influence of 5-HT(2C) and MDR1 genetic polymorphisms on antipsychotic-induced weight gain in female schizophrenic patients [PDF]
We investigated the relationships between functional genetic variants of the 5-HT(2C) receptor and multidrug-resistant protein (MDR1), coding for P-glycoprotein, and second generation antipsychotic (SDA)-induced weight gain among 108 female schizophrenic

Parasubthalamic Glutamatergic Neurons Coordinate Cardiovascular Homeostasis and Locomotion in Mice
PSTNVglut2 neurons function as a new central baroreflex hub via projections to the NTS, modulating parasympathetic cardiac output to maintain cardiovascular homeostasis while synchronously regulating locomotion. Blood pressure fluctuations negatively correlate with locomotor performance.

Can Valproic Acid be an Inducer of Clozapine Metabolism? [PDF]
Introduction: Prior clozapine studies indicated no effects, mild inhibition or induction of valproic acid (VPA) on clozapine metabolism. The hypotheses that (i) VPA is a net inducer of clozapine metabolism, and (ii) smoking modifies this inductive effect

This study reveals that early rather than late administration of S‐ketamine can ameliorate PTSD symptoms. This phenomenon is attributed to reversing the progressive inhibition of VTADA neurons and the function of VTADA‐OFC circuit following stress. Targeted stimulation of the OFC by TI‐NIBS to enhance DA release effectively extends the therapeutic time

I read the piece by Wang and Li[1] with great interest. The issues surrounding the use of clozapine in China and the United States provide an interesting contrast. Wang and Li suggest that clozapine is over-utilized in China both as a first-line treatment and (in low doses) to augment other antipsychotic agents.

This study demonstrates that prolonged rhythmic 40 Hz light flicker enhances spatial learning by stimulating PV interneuron‐dependent neurogenesis. The light flicker selectively activates PV interneurons, which enhances GABAergic support for the integration of immature neurons in the adult dentate gyrus.
