Neuroleptic drugs, also known as antipsychotics, primarily target dopamine receptors in the brain. The basal ganglia, a group of structures involved in movement and reward, have high concentrations of dopamine receptors and are therefore significantly affected by neuroleptic drugs. This can lead to side effects such as movement disorders (e.g. tardive dyskinesia) and changes in motivation and pleasure.
