brain | in the gray matter, AADC neurons are not only found in the region around the central canal but also in the dorsal horn, intermediate zone, and ventral horn. In the white matter a large number of glial cells are AADC-immunopositive in different spinal segments and the vast majority of these cells express oligodendrocyte and radial glial phenotypes. Additionally, a small number of AADC neurons are found in the white matter along the ventral median fissure | Rattus norvegicus | - |
additional information | immunohistochemic localization study using anti-AADC antibodies with AADC immunoreactivity by the avidin-biotin complex (ABC) peroxidase immunohistochemistry, overview. The diverse morphological characteristics of the AADC cells suggests that they can be further divided into several subtypes | Rattus norvegicus | - |
