In the dorsal horn of the spinal cord in the plates I—IV on the thoracic and lumbar levels different subpopulations
of interneurons immunoreactive for calbindin 28 kDa (CAB IR), which are specific to each plate. In
the area of the medial edge of the dorsal horn, we have found a special subpopulation of CAB IR interneurons
whose morphometric characteristics differ from CAB IR interneurons subpopulations of said plates. The number
of CAB IR interneurons was maximal in the plate II at all levels of the spinal cord. Leveled differences are
more CAB IR interneurons and larger area of the cross sections at the lumbar level.
Key words: calbindin, interneuron, dorsal horn, spinal cord, mouse
