The localization of three calcium-binding proteins, calretinin, calbindin-D28k, and parvalbumin, in the rat thalamus was immunohistochemically examined. a) Some thalamic regions revealed cells almost exclusively containing one of the calcium-binding proteins. For example, almost only calretinin-stained cells were found in the central medial and paraventricular nuclei. Calbindin-D28k-stained cells were mostly found in the centrolateral, interanteromedial, anteromedial, and posterior nuclei. Only parvalbumin-positive cells were found in the central part of the reticular nucleus. b) Other regions expressed overlap between the distributions of two cell components composed of different calcium-binding proteins. For example, both calretinin-stained cells and calbindin-D28k-labeled cells were found in the lateroposterior, intermediodorsal, rhomboid, and reuniens nuclei. c) Other regions showed no cells stained for any of the calcium-binding proteins. For example, generally no calcium-binding protein was detected in neurons of the anterodorsal, anteroventral, ventrolateral, ventral posterolateral, ventral posteromedial, or gelatinosus nuclei, or of the central part of the mediodorsal nucleus. These three proteins serve as useful marker for localizing subpopulations of neurons within the thalamus.
