Neuronal organization of the main olfactory bulb revisited
Toshio Kosaka,Katsuko Kosaka +1 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on four issues, some of which appear not to have been recognized previously: axons of periglomerular cells, the heterogeneity and peculiarity of dopamine-GABAergic juxtaglomerular Cells, neurons participating in the interglomerular connections, and newly found transglomerular cells.

Heterogeneity of tyrosine hydroxylase expressing neurons in the main olfactory bulb of the mouse.
TL;DR: The structural features of dopamine (DA)-GABAergic neurons in the mouse main olfactory bulbs were examined, using both wild type and transgenic TH-GFP mice, with the combination of several methods; the immunocytochemistry, biotinylated dextran amine labeling, lucifer yellow injection in fixed slices, biocytin injection in live slice and the functional Olfactory deprivation.

Calcium-binding protein, secretagogin, specifies the microcellular tegmental nucleus and intermediate and ventral parts of the cuneiform nucleus of the mouse and rat
Toshio Kosaka,Katsuko Kosaka +1 more
TL;DR: Secretagogin, a recently discovered calcium binding protein of the EF hand family, cloned from β cells of pancreatic island of Langerhans and endocrine cells of the gastrointestinal gland, specifically labelled a particular neuronal cluster in the brainstem of the mice and rats.

Neuronal organization of the main olfactory bulb revisited
Toshio Kosaka,Katsuko Kosaka +1 more
TL;DR: The main olfactory bulb is now one of the most interesting parts of the brain; firstly, as an excellent model for understanding the neural mechanisms of sensory information processing, and secondly as a prominent sites whose interneurons are generated continuously in the postnatal and adult periods.
Calcium-binding protein, secretagogin, characterizes novel groups of interneurons in the rat striatum
TL;DR: The present study indicates that there are hitherto unknown groups of striatal interneurons in the rat striatum.
