Neurons performing the same function can be identified immunohistochemically because they often share the same neurochemistry. The distribution of calcium-binding proteins, like calbindin, has been used previously to identify functional subpopulations of neurons in many parts of the nervous system.
The aim of this study was to assess the distribution of neurons immunoreactive for parvalbumin (PV), calbindin (CaBP), glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the somatosensory thalamus of the raccoon and to compare these features to those of other species, especiall
