Abstract:
To understand the relationship of neurotransmitter between the striatum and limbic system such as amygdaloid nucle-us and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis. 30 male Sprague Dawley rats were used. Immunohistochemical ABC method was per-formed to detect the expression of substance P (SP), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), leucine-enkephalin (L-enk),cholecyctokinin (CCK) and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS) on seetions of the brain. Some transmitters including substanceP, calcitonin gene-related peptide and cholecyctokinin were mainly distributed at the marginal division of the striatum. Theleucine-enkephalin was mainly distributed at the globus pallidus and was secondly distributed at the marginal division of the stria-tun. The neuronal nitric oxide synthase was mainly distributed at caudate putamen and the marginal division. All these transmit-ters were not only distributed at amygdaloid nucleus and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, but also had fibers connection amongthe amygdaloid nucleus, marginal division and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis. CONCLUSION: There were special fibersconnection between the marginal division and other basal ganglia nucleus or the limbic system. The marginal division may beplayed some important functions of basal ganglia and limbic system.
