'Experimental neuroanatomical tracing methods lie at the basis of the study of the nervous system. When the scientific question is relatively straightforward, it may be sufficient to derive satisfactory answers from experiments in which a single neuroanatomical tracing method is applied. In various scientific paradigms however, for instance when the ... More
Giant neurons in the macaque pulvinar: a distinct relay subpopulation.
AuthorsImura K, Rockland KS,
JournalFront Neuroanat
PubMed ID18958196
Calbindin positive (CB+) giant neurons are known to occur within the pulvinar nucleus in subhuman primates. Here, we demonstrate by combined retrograde tracing and immunocytochemistry that at least some of these are pulvinocortical relay neurons, and further report several distinctive features. First, in contrast with non-giant relay neurons, the giant ... More
Selective anterograde tracing of the individual serotonergic and nonserotonergic components of the dorsal raphe nucleus projection to the vestibular nuclei.
AuthorsHalberstadt AL, Balaban CD
JournalNeuroscience
PubMed ID17507165
It is well known that the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) sends serotonergic and nonserotonergic projections to target regions in the brain stem and forebrain, including the vestibular nuclei. Although retrograde tracing studies have reported consistently that there are differences in the relative innervation of different target regions by serotonergic and ... More
Novel applications of common stereology software to represent the complete distribution, density and spatial organization of anterogradely labelled fibers in neuroanatomical tract-tracing studies.

In a recent study we have adapted for the first time available software used in spatial neuronal organization studies to represent the complete fiber distribution of a brain projection [Leite-Almeida H, Valle-Fernandes A, Almeida A. Brain projections from the medullary dorsal reticular nucleus: an anterograde and retrograde tracing study in ... More
