- Abstract
DOPAMINERGIC systems in various parts of the mammalian brain, particularly in striatal, mesolimbic, mesocortical and hypothalamic structures, are involved in the control of motor activity, autonomic processes and emotional behaviour. An altered dopaminergic transmission in striatum seems to be responsible for Parkinsonism, whereas abnormalities in other, still poorly defined, dopaminergic synapses could participate in the aetiology of schizophrenia1-3. Thus, there is considerable theoretical as well as therapeutical interest in defining specific characteristics of different dopaminergic systems participating in the control of these various functions.
