“…This effect could be due to a disinhibition of corticostriatal glutamatergic transmission via antagonism of the D-2 receptor produced by the accumulation of haloperidol in the brain. Along these lines, it has been shown that there are D-2 receptors located on corticostriatal nerve terminals (Garau et al, 1978;Schwartz et al, 1978;Theodorou et al, 1981;Filloux et al, 1989) and that dopamine and D-2 agonists inhibit stimulated glutamate efflux in the striaturn (Mitchell and Doggett, 1980;Rowlands and Roberts, 1980;Nieoullon et al, 1982;Kerkerian and Nieoullon, 1988;Maura et al, 1988Maura et al, , 1989Yamamoto and Davy, 1992). Furthermore, chronic treatment with the D-2 antagonist (-)sulpiride increases glutamate in cerebrospinal fluid of rats (Kim et al, 1983).…”
