Localisation of clozapine during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and its impact on dopamine and its receptors

Abstract Multiple sclerosis is a disease characterised by axonal demyelination in the central nervous system (CNS). The atypical antipsychotic drug clozapine attenuates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a mouse model used to study multiple sclerosis, but the precise mechanism is unkno...
