Which of the following drugs ameliorate choreiform movements?

A. ACh blockers because there is an excess of this transmitter in the caudate nucleus
B. Dopamine blockers because there is too low a ratio of ACh to dopamine in the neostriatum
C. Serotonin blockers because there is too low a ratio of serotonin to ACh and dopamine in the neostriatum
D. Substance P antagonists because the ratio of substance P to ACh is too high in the neostriatum
E. Norepinephrine antagonists because the ratio of norepinephrine to ACh is too high in the subthalamic nucleus
