Abstract

In this study, retrograde transport of Fast blue was combined with tyrosine hydroxylase immunohistochemistry to reveal the presence of projections from both dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra-ventral tegmental area to the parietal cortex of cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis). These findings confirm the results of previous studies demonstrating the existence of a dopaminergic innervation of monkey parietal cortex.
