摘要
The distribution of the immediate early gene c-fos expression in the mouse central nervous system after subcutaneous injection of Bay K 8644 was observed immunohistochemically. Half an hour after injection, cfos protein (FOS) was expressed in the piriform cortex, sensorimotor cortex, caudate putamen, thalamic paraventricular nucleus and striate cortex,etc. Intense FOS immunoreactive (FOS-ir) cells were seen during 2 ～ 4 h after injection. The restllts suggested that the distribution of FOS-ir ce1ls after subcutaneous injection of Bay K 8644 was coincldent with that of L-type calcium channels in the different areas of the CNS. After Bay K 8644 injection, mice appeared seizure-like behavior. The percentage of cells double-labelled by FOS and CaBP immunoreactivities in the observed regions was about 60. 2～72. 8% in CaBP-ir cells. It suggested that most CaBP-lr cells may have L-type calcium channels.
