High-resolution 3D reconstruction and morphometric analysis of striosomes was carried out in macaque monkeys by using immunocytochemistry for the Kv4 potassium channel subunit potassium channel interacting protein 1 (KChIP1), a novel marker. The striosomes form a connected reticulum made up of two distinct planar sheets spanning several millimeters in the putamen, and long finger-like branches in the caudate nucleus and putamen. Although their spatial organization is variable, morphometric analy ...[more]
