Why is it important?
Analysis using the Golgi impregnation technique revealed a significant loss of distal dendritic segments, tortuous branches, and varicosities and an overall restriction of the dendritic field in the brains of schizophrenic かんじゃ in both pyramidal cells and in aspiny interneurons.
Perspectives
The present results may explain certain clinical phenomena associated with the visual cortex usually encountered in schizophrenia.
