<正> Objective: In order to get more information about the possible functions of Calbindin D-28K in the central nervous system of adult cat

the distribution of Calbindin D-28K in the central nervous system of adult cat was examined. Methods: Immunohistochemical staining techniques were used

and immunostained sections were observed under a light microscopy. Results: A high density of both immunoreactive perikarya and fibers were observed in the basal ganglia
