title: [Dopaminergic neurons and clinical neuropsychiatry].
abstract: The neurobiologic acquisitions in the realm of the dopaminergic neurons are analyzed and discussed in connection with related clinical problems. Both "neurological" (extrapyramidal; autonomic; neuro endocrine) and "psychiatric" (bradifrenia; dissociation; depression of mood) symptoms and syndromes--whose pathophysiology and pharmacotherapy involves dopaminergic transmission--are discussed. The peculiar physiological meaning of dopaminergic neurons between the monoaminergic adaptive systems is stressed.
