Somatostatin Golgi cells

Fig. 20. Examples of soraatostatin-immunoreactive elements in the cerebellar cortex of the paraflocculus of adult colchicine treated rats. Patch of Purkinje cells and an immunostained Golgi cell (arrow head) are present in this section. Somatostatin-immunoreactive climbing fibers are observed. Calibration bar 50 jim. Villar et al.

Altman and Das, 1970). They share this property with a group of displaced Golgi cells located in the lower molecular layer in the rabbit (Ramon y Cajal, 1911 Spagek, 1973). A subpopulation of Golgi cells in the cat and man, but not in rat or rabbit, is im-munoreactive for choline acetyltransferase (see Section 3.10.1., Fig. 86). Certain Golgi cells in rats were found to be immunostained with antibodies against conjugates of somatostatin (Johansson et al., 1984 Vincent et al., 1985 Villar et al., 1989) (Fig. 20) or enkephalin (Schulman et al., 1981 Ibuki et al., 1988).
