Seroquel?? for pathology class?

Seroquel (quetiapine) is a dibenzothiazepine atypical antipsychotic, not an SNRI. It has been proposed that this drug's antipsychotic activity is mediated through a combination of dopamine type 2 (D2) and serotonin type 2 (5-HT2) antagonism. It is an antagonist at multiple neurotransmitter receptors in the brain: serotonin 5-HT1A and 5-HT2, dopamine D1 and D2, histamine H1, and adrenergic alpha1- and alpha2- receptors; but appears to have no appreciable affinity at cholinergic muscarinic and benzodiazepine receptors. Norquetiapine, an active metabolite, differs from its parent molecule by exhibiting high affinity for muscarinic M1 receptors.

Seroquel blocks the receptor by sticking to it, and preventing serotonin from binding to the receptor and turning it on.

EDIT: Blocking serotonin receptors leads to an increased availability of serotonin in the synapse and raising levels.

If you plan to live/work in an area with a high Spanish speaking population, Spanish will absolutely help you. If you're fluent enough in it (and maybe minoring in it in college would be good too) you may get paid more depending on where you work because they won't need to hire a translator. Anatomy is good, but the genetics course likely won't help you very much -- though by all means take it if it interests you! Parenthood/child development and anything that gives you experience working with children is also fantastic. As for going overboard with volunteering - if you think the experience is gold or that it will open doors for you to volunteer in college, go for it. Obviously, if it's fun for you, go for it. If not though, it may not benefit you too much as once you start applying for grad schools what you did in high school won't be relevant anymore. Good luck!

Latest FDA is to declare seroquel as non-effective and not indicated for dementia psychosis.
