[Chemical anatomy of the thalamus in the schizophrenia].
The thalamus is considered nowadays as a key structure in the whole organization of the cortico-subcortical relationships. In the last few years, there has been a growing interest in analyzing the potential alterations that could occur in this diencephalic structure in certain psychiatric disorders, prominently in the schizophrenia. In this contribution we describe some of the results obtained in various studies focused on the synaptic modifications of the thalamus observed in schizophrenic patients.
