title: The proportion of neurons in the rat neostriatum that project to the substantia nigra demonstrated using horseradish peroxidase conjugated with wheatgerm agglutinin.
abstract: Following the injection of small volumes of horseradish peroxidase conjugated with wheatgerm agglutinin into the substantia nigra of the rat, a high proportion of the total neuronal population in parts of the ipsilateral neostriatum was retrogradely labelled with horseradish peroxidase. Quantitative estimates in 1-micrometer plastic sections showed that 68.5% of 1011 neurons counted project to the substantia nigra.
