Calbindin D-28k as a marker for the associative cortical territory of the striatum in macaque.
An immunohistochemical study was made to investigate the topographic distribution of calbindin D-28k in relation to the associative and sensorimotor cortical territories in the macaque striatum. An intense calbindin-staining was found in the caudate nucleus and ventromedial putamen, i.e., in the associative striatum. In contrast, only a weak immunoreaction was found in the dorsolateral, sensorimotor, putamen. Calbindin immunoreactivity thus appears as a specific marker for the associative striatum.
