GAD 65/67 immunolabeling in the tree shrew striatum. GAD65/67 stained sections were counterstained with thionin (Nissl stain) to improve the visualization of labeled neurons. (A–C) Low magnification images of GAD 65/67 labeling in the rostral (A), mid (B), and caudal (C) striatum. GAD 65/67 appears as a rather homogeneous labeling. (D) Detail of GAD 65/67 immunoreactive fibers (arrowheads) running in parallel to the fiber bundles of the corpus callosum. Some GAD 65/67 positive neurons are also observed (open arrows). (E) Detail of GAD 65/67 immunolabeled fibers (arrowheads) crossing perpendicularly to the fiber bundles of the internal capsule (ic). (F) Detail of two GAD 65/67 immunoreactive neurons (open arrows) embedded in a rich GAD 65/67-ir neuropil in the caudate nucleus. Coordinates indicate the orientation of the sections in the figure (D, dorsal; L, lateral). ac, anterior commissure; C, caudate; cc, corpus callosum; ic, internal capsule; GP, globus pallidus; P, putamen. Scale bars: 1 mm in (A–C); 100 μm in (E); 50 μm in (D,F).
