Recently, we proposed a cholinergic mechanism, based on the distinct pharmacology of clozapine in the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system, a hypothesis strengthened by the translation of a new cholinergic-based antipsychotic drug into clinical practice. A recent article has challenged the cholinergic hypothesis and instead proposed a mechanism involving the action of clozapine at noradrenaline receptors of the α<sub>2</sub> class. We consider that this hypothesis is implausible for two reasons. Firstly, numerous antipsychotics that are inferior to clozapine act at α<sub>2</sub> noradrenergic receptors, in an identical manner to clozapine. Moreover, there is no evidence that α<sub>2</sub> noradrenergic antagonists have any antipsychotic effects in the clinic. A clear difference between clozapine and the other, less efficacious antipsychotics is its ability to behave as an agonist at acetylcholine receptors of the muscarinic class. In the striatum, acetylcholine and dopamine are vital signals for salience and neuroplasticity.
