Pimozide is widely used in research focusing on its role as a dopamine receptor antagonist. In neuroscience, it is employed to study changes in neurotransmitter systems, particularly dopamine, and how these changes affect behavior and neurological conditions. Pimozide is also used in studies to understand the neurobiological basis of disorders related to dopamine dysregulation. Additionally, it serves as a tool to explore the mechanisms of action of dopamine in various cognitive processes such as learning and memory. In biochemistry, research on Pimozide includes investigating its binding affinity and effect on dopamine receptors, which helps in understanding the receptor′s role in signal transduction pathways.
