Abstract
⺠Imaging of dopamine transporters measures the density of dopamine neuron terminals ⺠Normal loss of dopamine terminals in healthy individuals is about 5% per decade. ⺠Dopamine neuron loss is 15% per decade in antipsychotic-treated schizophrenia ⺠Antipsychotic accumulation in nigral neuromelanin causes loss of dopamine terminals ⺠Dopamine neuron loss may lead to tardive dyskinesia
