Abstract
Objectives: The substantia nigra (SN) receives glutamatergic and GABAergic inputs that regulate dopaminergic neuronal activity. Imaging studies have shown hyperactivity of the SN in schizophrenia (SZ) patients. We examined neurochemically defined inputs to the SN, synaptic density, and neuromelanin content that might contribute to or reflect this hyperexcitability.Methods: Glutamatergic axon terminals were identified by the immunohistochemical...
