Increased dopamine levels are associated with decreased glutamate activity, especially in the pfc, so drugs that treat schizophrenia by blocking dopamine activity also lend support to the glutamate deficiency hypothesis. Memorize pink row in figure 7. 6 in-depth heterotrimeric g-protein. And entities that turn off activation and time limit of g-protein activation. Know what turns things off and what turns things on. Figure 7. 7: when pka is inactive, the regulatory domain is stuck to catalytic domain. C-fos is one of the genes to be transcribed right away.
