We determined the neurogenesis characteristics of a distinct subclass of rat striatum gamma-aminobutyric acidergic (GABAergic) interneurons expressing the calcium-binding protein calretinin (CR). Timed-pregnant rats were given an intraperitoneal injection of 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU), a marker of cell proliferation, on designated days between embryonic day 12 (E12) and E21. CR-inummoreactive (-IR) neurons and BrdU-positive nuclei were labeled in the adult neostriatum by double inummohistochemistry, and:the proportion of double-labeled cells was quantified. CR-IR interneurons of the neostriatum show maximum birth rates (>10% double labeling) between E14 and E17, with a peak at E15. CR-IR interneurons occupying the lateral half of the neostriatum become postmitotic prior to medial neurons. In the precomissural neostriatum, the earliest-born neurons occupy the lateral quadrants and the latest-born neurons occupy the dorsomedial sector. No significant rostrocaudal neurogenesis gradient is observed. CR-IR neurons make up 0.5% of the striatal population and are localized in both the patch and the matrix compartments. CR-IR neurons of the patch compartment are born early (E13-15), with later-born neurons (E16-18) populating mainly the matrix compartment. CR-IR cells of the neostriatum are a distinct subclass of interneurons that are born at an intermediate time during striatal development and share common neurogenesis characteristics with other interneurons and projection neurons produced in the ventral telencephalon.
