Receptors and Brain Dysfunction

In neurological and psychiatric diseases such as epilepsy, hepatic encephalopathy, progressive supranuclear palsy, Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease, we find characteristic changes in receptor densities and "receptor fingerprints", which are an important aspect of dysfunction in these diseases.

Neurological diseases are associated with changes in the density of different receptor types. Asterisks highlight significantly altered receptor densities.
