Summary of changes and schematic of VGLUT1 (red) and VGLUT2 (green) expression in the anterior cingulate cortex in schizophrenia, based on data from the present study and earlier reports. In a previous study, increased VGLUT2 mRNA was found in the thalamus in schizophrenia. Question marked statements in the boxes labeled Other Cortical Areas, Subcortical Structures, and Thalamus are putative explanations to account for the observed changes in the ACC in schizophrenia.
