Calretinin-immunoreactive neurons in the human thalamus

Abstract

The distribution of the calcium-binding protein calretinin in the thalamus of normal human individuals was studied with immunohistochemistry. Calretinin immunoreactivity was weak in the geniculate bodies and in nuclei of the ventral and posterior groups, moderate in the reticular nucleus and in nuclei of the anterior, medial, and lateral groups, and strong in nuclei of the midline group and anterior intralaminar nuclei. The mediodorsal nucleus was unique among thalamic nuclei because it contained a wide variety of intensely immunostained perikarya embedded in a moderately-labelled neuropil. The reticular nucleus displayed several small and uniformly distributed neuronal clusters composed of immunostained perikarya lying in a moderately-labelled neuropil. Intense and uniform immunostaining was observed in all midline nuclei and in the anterior intralaminar nuclei, including the paracentral and central lateral nuclei. These nuclei, which harboured numerous intensely-stained perikarya lying in a dense immunoreactive neuropil, were the most strongly-immunoreactive structures of the entire human thalamus. At the level of the posterior intralaminar nuclei, the central median nucleus was virtually free of immunostaining whereas the pa...Continue Reading
