Distinct subtypes of L3PNs that send axonal projections to the DLPFC in the opposite hemisphere (callosal projection [CP] neurons) or the parietal cortex in the same hemisphere (ipsilateral projection [IP] neurons) play critical roles in working memory. However, how the transcriptomes of these L3PN subtypes might shift during late postnatal development when working memory impairments emerge in individuals later diagnosed with schizophrenia is not known. The aim of this study was to characterize and compare the transcriptome profiles of CP and IP L3PNs across developmental transitions from prepuberty to adulthood in macaque monkeys.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The authors used retrograde labeling to identify CP and IP L3PNs in the DLPFC of prepubertal, postpubertal, and adult macaque monkeys, and used laser microdissection to capture these neurons for RNA sequencing.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>At all three ages, CP and IP L3PNs had distinct transcriptomes, with the number of genes differentially expressed between neuronal subtypes increasing with age.

The authors review the history, classification, indications, mechanism, efficacy, side effects, dosing, drug initiation, switching, and other practical issues and questions related to antipsychotics. Classifications such as first-generation/typical versus second-generation/atypical antipsychotics are neither valid nor useful; these agents should be described according to the Neuroscience-based Nomenclature (NbN). Antipsychotic drugs are not specific for treating schizophrenia. They reduce psychosis regardless of the underlying diagnosis, and they go beyond nonspecific sedation. All currently available antipsychotic drugs are dopamine blockers or dopamine partial agonists. In schizophrenia, effect sizes for relapse prevention are larger than for acute treatment. A major unresolved problem is the implausible increase in placebo response in antipsychotic drug trials over the decades. Differences in side effects, which can be objectively measured, such as weight gain, are less equivocal than differences in rating-scale-measured (subjective) efficacy. The criteria for choosing among antipsychotics are mainly pragmatic and include factors such as available formulations, metabolism, half-life, efficacy, and side effects in previous illness episodes. Plasma levels help to detect nonadherence, and once-daily dosing at night (which is possible with many antipsychotics) and long-acting injectable formulations are useful when adherence is a problem. Dose-response curves for both acute treatment and relapse prevention follow a hyperbolic pattern, with maximally efficacious average dosages for schizophrenia of around 5 mg/day risperidone equivalents. Computer apps facilitating the choice between drugs are available. Future drug development should include pharmacogenetics and focus on drugs for specific aspects of psychosis.</p>","PeriodicalId":7656,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Psychiatry","volume":"181 10","pages":"865-878"},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142339411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
