Context examples:
This drug stabilizes dopamine and serotonin activity in the limbic and cortical system.
(Aripiprazole, NCI Thesaurus)
Apomorphine hydrochloride acts by stimulating dopamine receptors in the nigrostriatal system, hypothalamus, limbic system, pituitary gland, and blood vessels.
(Apomorphine Hydrochloride, NCI Thesaurus)
Fluphenazine blocks postsynaptic dopamine D2 receptors in the limbic system, cortical system and basal ganglia, resulting in a reduction of schizophrenia-associated hallucinations and delusions.
(Fluphenazine hydrochloride, NCI Thesaurus)
By modulating binding of the GABA inhibitory neurotransmitter to GABA-A receptors in the ascending reticular activating system, flurazepam blocks arousal of the cortical and limbic system, thereby exerting its sedative and hypnotic effect.
(Flurazepam, NCI Thesaurus)
Fluphenazine decanoate exerts its actions by blocking postsynaptic dopamine D2 receptors in the limbic, cortical system and basal ganglia.
(Fluphenazine Decanoate, NCI Thesaurus)
Ethchlorvynol appears to depress the central nervous system by binding at a benzodiazepine-GABA-A-chloride ionophore receptor complex, located in the limbic, thalamic and hypothalamic regions of the central nervous system (CNS).
(Ethchlorvynol, NCI Thesaurus)
Fluphenazine exerts its actions by blocking postsynaptic dopamine D2 receptors in the limbic, cortical system and basal ganglia.
(Fluphenazine, NCI Thesaurus)
Although the exact mechanism of meprobamate is largely unknown, it appears to act as a depressant at multiple sites in the central nervous system, mostly likely through the GABAergic neurotransmitter system, including the thalamus and limbic system.
(Meprobamate, NCI Thesaurus)
Alprazolam binds to a specific site distinct from the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) binding site on the benzodiazepine-GABA-A-chloride ionophore receptor complex located in the limbic, thalamic and hypothalamic regions of the central nervous system (CNS).
(Alprazolam, NCI Thesaurus)
Loxapine succinate exerts its actions by blocking the dopamine receptors at postsynaptic receptor sites in the limbic system, cortical system and basal ganglia, thereby reducing the hallucinations and delusions that are associated with schizophrenia.
(Loxapine Succinate, NCI Thesaurus)
