Antipsychotic drugs sometimes produce tardive dyskinesia. This is probably because the drugs have

A) caused damage to the axons in the spinal cord.
B) altered the flow of blood to different parts of the brain.
C) altered the way the body metabolizes glucose.
D) affected dopamine receptors for years.

Tardive Dyskinesia

A neurological syndrome caused by the long-term use of neuroleptic drugs, characterized by repetitive, involuntary, purposeless movements.

Dopamine Receptors

Proteins located on the surface of neurons that bind to the neurotransmitter dopamine and play a crucial role in brain function.

Antipsychotic Drugs

Medications used to manage psychosis, particularly in disorders like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, by affecting brain chemistry.
