A cytoarchitectural analysis of the rat olfactory tubercle using Nissl-stained coronal sections revealed that the dense cell layer (DCL) consisted of medium sized striatal cells in the cortical regions and small sized "granule" cells in the cap regions. Also delineated from this experiment was a rim of neuropil, nearly devoid of neurons as well as neuronal processes, outlining the islands of Calleja. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) localization utilizing light microscopy revealed that the olfactory tubercles (OT) contained AChE-positive fibers that were orientated dorsoventrally in the molecular and multiform layers. The DCL consisted of only fibers en passant and putative terminals. Diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP) …
