Although there are many possible hypotheses for the pathophysiology of acute akathisia, none is completely satisfactory. So far the most attractive hypothesis is dopamine receptor blockade in the mesocortical and mesolimbic regions of the brain. It is unlikely that a single neurotransmitter hypothesis will explain all the complex features of the disorder, and the interaction of several neurotransmitters may be involved.
