Abstract
In the rat sriatum axo-axonic synapses are seen relatively rarely in individual sections. The real occurrence of these synapses is much higher than the apparent occurrence as judged from single sections. A mathematical consideration is given to account for the distance between the 2 synapses in series. Their possible role in the action of neuroleptic drugs and for the theory of schizophrenia was postulated.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
