Elektrofysiologiske undersøgelser viste, at olanzapin selektivt reducerede "firing" ved de mesolimbiske (A10) dopaminerge neuroner, hvorimod det kun havde lille påvirkning af de striatale (A9) baner for motorisk funktion.
Electrophysiological studies demonstrated that olanzapine selectively reduced the firing of mesolimbic (A10) dopaminergic neurons, while having little effect on the striatal (A9) pathways involved in motor function.
