摘要
The heterogeneous anatomy of both the dorsal striatum at the level of the head of the caudate nucleus and of the substantia nigra of cats was analyzed immunohistochemically using two calcium-binding proteins, namely, calbindin D-28k and parvalbumin. The striatal histochemical markers nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate diaphorase and acetylcholinesterase were revealed in sections adjacent to those used for the immunohistochemical procedure. The distribution of both the calbindin D-28k and the parvalbumin immunoreactivities is heterogeneous in dorsal, ventral, lateral, and medial areas of the head of the caudate nucleus and is in register with the striosome/matrix pattern displayed by the histochemical markers. These calcium-binding proteins preferentially are located in the matrix compartment of the rostral caudate nucleus. Moreover, in some areas of the rostral two-thirds of the substantia nigra, calbindin D-28k and parvalbumin immunoreactivities appear to follow a complementary pattern that is quite different from the mesencephalic distribution of these two calcium-binding proteins.
