Intracellular injection of HRP combined with immunocytochemistry for [Leu]enkephalin was used to demonstrate striatal spiny neuron dendritic and local axonal arborizations in the same section as enkephalin-rich patches (striosomes). Cobalt intensification of the first DAB reaction prior to the immunoperoxidase steps resulted in good contrast between the black reaction product in the intracellularly labeled cells and the brown staining for [Leu]enkephalin. Serial reconstructions of the labeled cells and nearby boundaries between the enkephalin-rich striosomes and enkephalin-poor matrix allowed the relationship between the arborizations of the labeled cells and these boundaries to be established. It was also possible to examine the relationship to compartmental boundaries of a second neuronal class consisting of large, pallidallike neurons whose somatodendritic morphology was outlined by immunoperoxidase-labeled terminals. We found that spiny projection neurons in both compartments have dendritic arbors and local axonal collaterals that are confined by compartmental boundaries. The termination or recurvature of dendrites at such boundaries suggests that the cellular basis of striatal compartmental organization is provided by this class of striatal neuron. On the other hand, large pallidumlike striatal neurons were found to have dendrites that extend across compartmental boundaries. These results support previous reports that striatal spiny projection neurons preserve the compartmental segregation of parallel striatal input-output systems, whereas other classes of striatal neurons may serve to provide limited integration between compartments.
