abstract：:In this chapter, we have presented evidence for several potential levels of interaction of NT/N gene products with dopaminergic systems of the brain. We have focused on one manifestation of this interaction related to the effects of antipsychotic drugs on expression of the NT/N gene in two anatomically discrete popula...
