[Gabaergic NADPH-diaphorase-positive Martinotti cells in the visual cortex in rats].
NADPH-diaphorase positive cells were described in the visual cortex of the rat in layers II-VI and in the white matter. Their somata were large or medium-sized, oval or elongated, and their cytoplasm was accumulated at the poles. Some proximal thickened coarse dendrites formed a bitufted dendritic field. These features showed a cell type impregnated with the Golgi-Kopsch-method and a Golgi-deimpregnation-method described as Martinotti cell (sparsely spined polarized neurons with ascending axons). The immunocytochemical evidence of GABA in NADPH-diaphorase positive neurons (double labeling) showed the GABA ergic nature of these cells, but an attempt for a double labelling of NADPH-diaphorase and Parvalbumin was negative.
