Postmortem Findings in Suicide Victims. Implications for <i>in Vivo</i> Imaging Studies^a

Abstract excerpt

Alterations in serotonergic and noradrenergic receptor binding in membrane homogenates from the brain of suicide victims suggest a biological substrate for the vulnerability to commit suicide. We and others have employed high-resolution quantitative autoradiography of full coronal sections of the prefrontal cortex to map the locus of maximal change in receptor binding. We found alterations in binding to the...
