Amino acid promising for trichotillomania by Moon, Mary Ann / Clinical Psychiatry News One thought is that when a hypocretinergic neuron releases hypocretin, the neurotransmitter attaches to its receptor site on a nearby glutamatergic neuron. Narcolepsy and neurotransmitters by Patrick, Regina / FOCUS: Journal for Respiratory Care & Sleep Medicine Mueller says that it supports the hypothesis that glutamatergic neurons, which release the neurotransmitter glutamate, are also important in schizophrenia because the mice had problems with their glutamatergic synapses, which are located at dendritic spines.
