Abstract
An immunohistochemical study was made to investigate the topographic d istribution of calbindin D-28k in relation to the associative and sens orimotor cortical territories in the macaque striatum. An intense calb indin-staining was found in the caudate nucleus and ventromedial putam en, i.e., in the associative striatum. In contrast, only a weak immuno reaction was found in the dorsolateral, sensorimotor, putamen. Calbind in immunoreactivity thus appears as a specific marker for the associat ive striatum.
