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.

## Abstract Taurine, 2‐aminoethanesulfonic acid, is present at high concentrations in many invertebrate and vertebrate systems and has several biological functions. In addition, it has been related to a neuroprotective role against several diseases such as epilepsy. In the present work, we treated
The cellular localization of calbindin D-28k (CB) and parvalbumin (PV) was analyzed by means of double-immunohistochemical techniques applied to single sections in the entopeduncular nucleus (EP), the subthalamic nucleus (STh), and the substantia nigra (SN) of the rat. In EP, PV-positive cells aboun
The presence of interconnections between cholinergic and parvalbumin (PARV)-containing gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic septohippocampal projection neurons is still a matter of debate. To search for contacts of cholinergic collateral axon terminals in the septal-diagonal band region the immunotox
