✦ Synopsis

Parvalbumin (a calcium-binding protein)-immunoreactive (PV-Ir) neurons in the cerebral cortex were examined in 20 postmortem brains obtained from elderly controls and patients with Pick's disease (PD). The type of PV-Ir neurons and their distribution in control and PD brains were similar. The number of PV-Ir neurons in PD brains did not differ significantly from that in the control brains either. These findings suggested that PV-Ir neurons in the cortex are not affected in PD brains. A significant loss of PV-Ir neurons has already been reported in brains obtained from patients with Alzheimer-type dementia (ATD), and the present results suggest the possibility that the damage of PV-Ir neurons might be comparatively selective for ATD brains.

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
