Abstract
This study shows localisation of a second class of calbindin-D28k cont aining neuron other than the medium-sized spiny neuron in the rat nucl eus accumbens, using immunohistochemistry with monoclonal antibodies. Ultrastructual characteristics were used to identify this second popul ation of accumbens neurons within its compartments. Staining-with NADP H-diaphorase and calbindin-D28k immunoreactivity revealed that some ne urons contained both markers.
