ABSTRACT
Immunohistochemistry for vasoactive intestinal polypeptide was carried out in tangentially cut vibratome sections of the barrel cortex in adult mice. Sections through layer IV have revealed an association between the cytoarchitectonically visible modular organization of barrels and the distribution of immunoreactive axon terminals. These terminals are preferentially localized in the side region of a barrel, whereas the hollow shows a relative scarcity of these structures as shown with image analysis. This finding is the first direct demonstration of a modular distribution of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-containing axon terminals in the neocortex.
