Chapter 7, Problem 13aCP
Summary Introduction
To review:
Relationship between dopaminergic neurons, Parkinson’s disease and Schizophrenia.
Introduction:
Dopaminergic neurons are the neurons that employ dopamine as a neurotransmitter. These neuronal cells are located in the midbrain. Drugs that are addictive in nature lead to the activity of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain.
