title: Cholecystokinin-8-like immunoreactivity in the pre- and post-central gyri of the human cerebral cortex.
abstract: Cellular localization of cholecystokinin-8-like immunoreactive (CCK-IR) structures in the pre- and post-central gyri of the human cerebral cortex was examined by indirect immunofluorescence. CCK-IR was localized mostly in perikarya of non-pyramidal cells such as multipolar, bitufted and bipolar cells, and to a lesser extent in medium and small pyramidal cells. CCK-IR fibers were also observed in these gyri, predominantly in layers I and III.
