Abstract
The striatum is composed of two distinct compartments: the patch compartment (striosomes) and matrix. Patches have been shown to be neurochemically different from the matrix (Graybiel et al. 1981; Graybiel 1990; Liu and Graybiel 1992b). Moreover, the two compartments show differences in afferent and efferent connections.
