Editing Caudate nucleus (section)

===Neurochemistry===
The caudate is highly innervated by [[dopaminergic neurons]] that originate from the [[substantia nigra|substantia nigra pars compacta]] (SNc). The SNc is in the [[midbrain]] and contains cell projections to the caudate and [[putamen]], using the neurotransmitter [[dopamine]].<ref>{{cite web|last=McDougal|first=David|title=Substantia Nigra|url=http://www.neuroanatomy.wisc.edu/virtualbrain/BrainStem/20Substantia.html|access-date=5 December 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130930042749/http://www.neuroanatomy.wisc.edu/virtualbrain/BrainStem/20Substantia.html|archive-date=30 September 2013}}</ref>  There are also inputs from various [[association cortex|association cortices]].
