Fig. 6. Collection of high magnification color photomicrographs
illustrate relationships between cholinergic neurons and TH-positive (A,B) or
DBH-positive (C,D) fibers in the globus pallidus (A) and substantia innominata (B-D).
A: A TH positive axon (arrowheads) with several varicosities (arrow)approaching a cholinergic
neuron. B: A cholinergic neuron is apposed by several varicosities from type 3 and 4
TH-positive fibers. Arrowheads point to fine caliber axons. Small arrows denote smaller varicosities,
the large arrow indicates two larger varicosities. C: DBH-positive varicosities (arrows)
around a distal cholinergic dendrite. This neuron was photographed from a plastic embedded section processed
for electron microscopy (see Figs. 8,9). D:
Distal dendrites of cholinergic neurons in the lateral part of the substantia innominata apparently innervated
by DBH-positive varicosities (some of which are indicated by arrows) from type 3 fiber. Arrowhead denotes
axon. Photomicrographs in B-D were taken from sections using DAB/NiDAB method; A is from a section processed
with the DAB/BDHC technique. Scale bar = 10 µm (applies to A-D).
