What is Distribution of calbindin‐D~28k~ immunoreactivity in the monkey temporal lobe: The amygdaloid complex about?

Calbindin-Dzsk is a calcium-binding protein located in a variety of neuronal cell types in many regions of the central nervous system. In the present study, we describe the distribution of ca1bindin-Dz8k-immunoreactive cells, fibers, and terminals in the monkey amygdaloid complex. Calbindin-D28k-immunoreactive neurons could be divided into four major cell types. Neurons of the first three cell types demonstrated clearly stained dendrites that were either aspiny or had a few spines on their distal portions. Type 1 cells were small, stellate, or multipolar and found throughout the amygdala. Type 2 cells were large, multipolar and were most commonly found in the deep nuclei, particularly in the lateral nucleus, intermediate division of the basal nucleus, accessory basal nucleus and in the periamygdaloid cortex. Type 3 cells were fusiform, of various sizes, and were found throughout the amygdala. Type 4 cells were quite large and lightly stained; the dendrites of these cells were usually unstained. The size, shape, and location of Type 4 labeled cell bodies suggested that they might be the large, modified pyramidal cells that constitute the projection neurons of the amygdala. Type 4 ce
