Abstract
Blood platelets appear to have a somewhat schizoid existence. Haematologically they are intimately connected with the process of clot formation (for review, see Zucker, 1980) and, at least from a research standpoint, this aspect of their being is largely separate from their use as models of monoaminergic neurones (for reviews, see Maynert and Isaac, 1968; Abrams and Solomon, 1969; Lingjaerde, 1977; Stahl, 1977; Pletscher, 1978).Keywords
