Abstract
The present study uses immunocytochemistry to investigate the behavior of the calretinin (CR)-containing neuronal subpopulation (interneuron s) of the rat hippocampus in neurodegenerative processes induced by th e neurotoxicant trimethyltin. Cell counts of CR-immunolabeled interneu rons indicated that these cells are spared by the neurotoxicant-induce d degeneration, characterized by a generalized neuronal loss, as shown by quantitative analysis after cresyl violet staining.
