GDNF Increases the Density of Cells Containing Calbindin but Not of Cells Containing Calretinin in Cultured Rat and Human Fetal Nigral Tissue

Among the dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra pars compacta and in the ventral tegmental area, subpopulations express the calcium-binding proteins calbindin (CB) and calretinin (CR), and the CB-containing neurons are supposed to be less prone to degeneration in Parkinson's disease. Glial c...
