What is Cellular Architecture of the Nucleus Reuniens Thalami and Its Putative Aspartatergic/glutamatergic Projection to the Hippocampus and Medial Septum in the Rat about?
## Abstract Little is known about the neurochemical features of the nucleus reuniens thalami (RE). In the present study, immunocytochemical experiments were performed to characterize the expression pattern of certain neurochemical markers, e.g. the calcium‐binding proteins calbindin and calretinin and several neuropeptides. Colocalization studies revealed that half of the calbindin‐positive cells express calretinin, and numerous calretinin‐immunoreactive neurons contain calbindin. In contrast, immunolabelling for neuropeptides did not reveal cell bodies in the RE. The RE establishes widespread connections with several limbic structures. To correlate these projection patterns with the neurochemical characteristics of RE neurons, the retrograde tracer [^3^H]d‐aspartate, which is selectively taken up by high affinity uptake sites that use glutamate as neurotransmitter, and the nonselective retrograde tracer wheatgerm agglutinin‐conjugated colloidal gold was injected into the stratum lacunosum moleculare of the hippocampal CA1 subfield and into the medial septum. The results provide direct anatomical demonstration of aspartatergic/glutamatergic projection from the RE to the hippocampus
