Fast spiking cells in rat hippocampus (CA1 region) contain the calcium-binding protein parvalbumin

Brain Res. 1987 Jul 28;416(2):369-74. doi: 10.1016/0006-8993(87)90921-8.

Abstract

Fast spiking cells in the CA1 region of the rat hippocampus were revealed as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic non-pyramidal cells containing the calcium-binding protein parvalbumin by intracellular injection of Lucifer yellow in vitro in combination with postembedding parvalbumin immunohistochemistry.
