Abstract excerpt

Previous data have suggested that the genetic variability in the sensitivity to haloperidol-induced catalepsy is associated with the number of dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra zona compacta (SNZc). To further investigate this relationship, neuroleptic responsive (NR) and neuroleptic nonre...
