In vitro, haloperidol demonstrates binding affinity for various receptors, including histamine H<sub>2</sub> receptors (H<sub>2</sub>Rs). Several cardiac effects of haloperidol are known, but it remains unclear whether H<sub>2</sub>Rs are involved. Here, the hypothesis was tested that haloperidol has the potential to act as either an agonist or an antagonist of human cardiac H<sub>2</sub>Rs. The contractile effects of haloperidol were studied in isolated left and right atrial preparations from transgenic mice overexpressing human H<sub>2</sub>Rs in the heart (H<sub>2</sub>-TG), and compared to human atrial preparations from adult patients. Haloperidol reduced the histamine-stimulated force of contraction in the human atrial preparations as well as the histamine-stimulated force of contraction and beating rate in the left and right atrial preparations from the H<sub>2</sub>-TG, respectively. Moreover, haloperidol reduced the isoprenaline-stimulated force of contraction in the human atrial preparations. In the wild-type mouse preparations, haloperidol only reduced the isoprenaline-stimulated beating rate in the right atria, but not the force in the left atria. Principally, haloperidol is capable of acting as an antagonist of both H<sub>2</sub>Rs and β-adrenoceptors in the human heart. However, the effects are only relevant at very high doses of haloperidol, which are never or seldom achieved in practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":74294,"journal":{"name":"NeuroSci","volume":"6 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12452768/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145115330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This phenomenon is collectively referred to as poly-equilibrium, which involves multiple systems that work together to cancel each other out and establish gaze direction. While other systems, such as audio- and cervico-ocular systems, may also contribute to gaze direction, this review focuses primarily on the commands issued by the vestibulo- and visuo-oculomotor systems that determine gaze direction, as they play a key role in the poly-equilibrium process. From the visual and vestibular activities accompanying the appearance of an object in the central visual field to the recruitment of premotor neurons responsible for the generation of slow and saccadic eye movements, a delicate balance is maintained. As long as the recruited channels convey commands that counterbalance each other, no movement is initiated. This alternative viewpoint leads to reconsidering the nature of saccadic and pursuit eye movements. Rather than viewing them as the dynamic reduction in brain signals encoding kinematic parameters such as position or velocity, they can be seen as the physical expression of intracerebral processes restoring balanced activities between sensorimotor channels whose recruitment leads to mutually opposed movements.</p>","PeriodicalId":74294,"journal":{"name":"NeuroSci","volume":"6 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12452416/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145115355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Socio-demographic, clinical, and health economic outcome data were collected through previously validated and structured questionnaires. Logistic regression was used to calculate the relative odds of symptom impact, with a generalized logit link for number of relapses. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to calculate hazard ratios for time to first relapse.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Six hundred and eighty-two (682) people with MS were enrolled in NARCRMS and had completed the HEOR questionnaires at the time of the analysis. Among the participants, 61% were employed full-time and 11% were employed part time. Fatigue was the leading symptom reported to impact both work and household chores. Among the employed participants, 13% reported having missed work with a median of 6.8 (IQR: 3.0-9.0) missed hours due to MS symptoms (absenteeism), while 35% reported MS having impacted their work output (presenteeism). The odds of higher disease severity (EDSS 2.0-6.5 vs. 0.0-1.5) were 2.29 (95% CI = 1.08, 4.88; &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; = 0.011) times higher for participants who identified reduction of work output. Fatigue was the most identified symptom attributed to work output reduction. Among all participants, 33% reported having missed planned household work with a median of 3.0 (IQR: 2.0-5.0) hours.
