- Abstract:

Despite evidence for an abnormality of noradrenergic function in schizophrenia, it remains unclear whether the number of noradrenergic neurones is normal in patients with the disorder. In postmortem, formalin-fixed tissue from 15 schizophrenic patients and 18 controls matched for age and gender, we made estimates of the number and size of tyrosine-hydroxylase-immunoreactive cells in the locus coeruleus (LC).
