By the end of the symposium, participants will be able to:
- Describe how the dopamine model in psychosis has evolved, from rodent studies to human applications
- Differentiate between presynaptic and postsynaptic dopamine dysregulation in schizophrenia
- Identify the limitations of traditional dopamine receptor blockade, including motor side effects (e.g., tardive dyskinesia)
- Recognize side effects of engaging monoaminergic receptors (e.g., sedation, weight gain)
- Understand how M1 and M4 muscarinic receptor pathways offer alternative strategies for modulating dopamine output
- Analyze clinical outcomes of xanomeline-trospium, a promising muscarinic-based treatment
- Evaluate ongoing research questions (e.g., orthosteric vs. allosteric modulation, necessity of both M1/M4 targets)
- Discuss the future potential of muscarinic agonism as a first-line treatment strategy over dopamine receptor blockade
