A brainstem atlas of catecholaminergic neurons and serotonergic perikarya in a pygmy primate (Cebuella pygmaea).
The present paper provides a brainstem atlas showing the distribution of catecholaminergic cells and processes, as well as serotonergic perikarya, in the pygmy marmoset. The findings revealed by the Falck and Hillarp histofluorescence method conform in essential details to what has been described in rodents. These and other comparative data indicate that a prototypical pattern of organization of aminergic systems has been retained in the evolution of primates.
