The immunocytochemical distribution of calbindin-D28k and parvalbumin in identified neurons of the pulvinar-lateralis posterior complex of the cat
1991
Abstract The calbindin-D28k and parvalbumin immunoreactivities of the neurons of the pulvinar-lateral posterior complex (Pul-LP) were studied in the cat. The neurons of the Pul-LP projecting to the cerebral cortex were identified by a retrogradely transported tracer injected in the suprasylvian gyrus. Two populations of cells were found, a calbindin-D28k-immunoreactive, large-diameter population and a parvalbumin-immunoreactive, small-diameter group. The two kinds of cells are closely intermingled. The former includes the neurons retrogradely marked, and therefore projecting to the suprasylvian gyrus. The latter includes neurons which were not retrogradely marked, and therefore presumably intrinsic elements.
