. Spillover of nitric oxide between neurons may have a major impact on central nervous system diseases and particularly on neurodegeneration. There is evidence whereby communication between nitrergic and dopaminergic systems plays an essential role in the control of the nigrostriatal pathway. However, there is sparse information for either the coexistence or overlap of nitric oxide and dopaminergic structures. The dual localization of immunoreactivity for nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and tyrosine hydroxylase, enzymes responsible for the synthesis of nitric oxide and dopamine, respectively, was examined in neurons of the nigrostriatal pathway in the rat brain by means of a double-immunohistochemical method and confocal laser scanning microscopy, acquired at the resolution limit. After perfusional fixation, the brains were cut and double-immunostained. A proximity analysis of tyrosine hydroxylase and NOS structures was done using binary masks generated from the respective maximum projections, using confocal laser microscopy. Unrevealed regions were determined somatodendritic positive for both NOS and tyrosine hydroxylase, within an image limit resolution at 2 μm-wide margin. The described interconnected localization of nNOS(+) and TH(+) containing neuronal fibers and cells bodies in the nigrostriatal pathway propose a close anatomical link between the two neurotransmitters.</p>

<abstract><p>Nitric oxide is unconstrained by cell membranes and can therefore act along a broad distance as a <italic>volume transmitter</italic>
. Spillover of nitric oxide between neurons may have a major impact on central nervous system diseases and particularly on neurodegeneration. There is evidence whereby communication between nitrergic and dopaminergic systems plays an essential role in the control of the nigrostriatal pathway. However, there is sparse information for either the coexistence or overlap of nitric oxide and dopaminergic structures. The dual localization of immunoreactivity for nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and tyrosine hydroxylase, enzymes responsible for the synthesis of nitric oxide and dopamine, respectively, was examined in neurons of the nigrostriatal pathway in the rat brain by means of a double-immunohistochemical method and confocal laser scanning microscopy, acquired at the resolution limit. After perfusional fixation, the brains were cut and double-immunostained. A proximity analysis of tyrosine hydroxylase and NOS structures was done using binary masks generated from the respective maximum projections, using confocal laser microscopy. Unrevealed regions were determined somatodendritic positive for both NOS and tyrosine hydroxylase, within an image limit resolution at 2 μm-wide margin. The described interconnected localization of nNOS(+) and TH(+) containing neuronal fibers and cells bodies in the nigrostriatal pathway propose a close anatomical link between the two neurotransmitters.</p>

<body><sec><title>Introduction</title>
<p>The mammalian basal ganglia (also referred to as caudate–putamen or neostriatum) are a group of subcortical nuclei implicated in a multiplicity of functions including motor, cognitive, and mnemonic behaviors (Bolam et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">2000</xref>
; Graybiel, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B55">2000</xref>
; Gerfen and Surmeier, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B51">2011</xref>
). The response of the basal ganglia circuitry to cortical stimuli is modulated by the neurotransmitter dopamine (Shen et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B111">2008</xref>
). Dopamine is crucial to motor, motivational, and reward-related functions of the central nervous system (Bolam et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">2000</xref>
; Graybiel, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B55">2000</xref>
). Degeneration of the dopamine system causes neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and is involved in multisystem atrophy (Haavik and Toska, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B58">1998</xref>
; Nagatsu and Ichinose, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B84">1999</xref>
; Benavides-Piccione and DeFelipe, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">2003</xref>
).</p>
<p>In addition to releasing dopamine from nerve terminals in striatum, nigrostriatal dopamine neurons synthesize and release dopamine from the soma and dendrites Geffen et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B50">1976</xref>
; Paden et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B89">1976</xref>
; Nieoullon et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B85">1977</xref>
; Wilson et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B129">1977</xref>
; Heeringa and Abercrombie, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B60">1995</xref>
). The molecular mechanisms underlying the modulatory role of dopamine on striatal and consequently on cortical transmission occur mostly by somatodendritic release (Gonon, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B53">1997</xref>
; Cragg and Rice, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B27">2004</xref>
; Rice and Cragg, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B99">2004</xref>
; see Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1</xref>
). Geffen et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B50">1976</xref>
) suggested that the process of somatodendritic dopaminergic release is vesicular and exocytotic, like axonal release (see Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1</xref>
). The release of a single vesicle of dopamine could modulate the excitability of tens to thousands of synapses within a few micrometers of a release site, in both substantia nigra compacta and striatum (Cragg et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">2001</xref>
; Rice and Cragg, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B100">2008</xref>
). It has been proposed that the sphere-of-influence of dopamine spillover in a concentration sufficient to stimulate dopamine receptors, has a radius of 2–8 μm (Rice and Cragg, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B100">2008</xref>
; see also Gonon, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B53">1997</xref>
; Cragg and Rice, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B27">2004</xref>
; Arbuthnott and Wickens, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">2007</xref>
). In addition, there is evidence for a lack of post-synaptic specialization at 60–70% of suggested dopamine release sites in the striatum (Descarries et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B34">1996</xref>
) and limited evidence for either pre- or post-synaptic specializations to delineate somatodendritic dopamine release sites in midbrain dopaminergic neurons (Wilson et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B129">1977</xref>
). Spillover is required for signaling by dopamine since its receptors are largely extrasynaptic (Cragg et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25">2004</xref>
). This extrasynaptic interaction would be a communication intermediary between classic neurotransmission and the relatively non-specific neuroendocrine secretion (Agnati et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1986</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">1995</xref>

Synaptic transmission: Synaptic vesicular release followed by the diffusion of the transmitter outside the synaptic cleft at an effective concentration. Neurotransmitters can escape from the synaptic cleft (especially during repetitive stimulation and/or the massive release of a transmitter) and affect extrasynaptic receptors on glia or neurons or reach a neighboring synapse. These phenomena have been called “transmitter spillover” and “synaptic crosstalk.” This loss of synaptic independence means that transmitter release at one synapse can lead to the activation of receptors in nearby synapses. <bold>(B)</bold>
Volume transmission: vesicular release from non-junctional varicosities, i.e. varicosities lacking pre-synaptic specializations and post-synaptic densities. Axons both in the central nervous system and in the autonomic nervous system form varicose (<italic>boutons-en-passant</italic>
) branches that may release and uptake neurotransmitters. The transmitter release from varicosity without synaptic contact diffuses far away from the release site and activates remote receptors of high affinity. <bold>(C,D)</bold>
Release of gaseous transmitters, e.g. nitric oxide release from neurons. The inside cell squares are representative of a local synthesis of the neurotransmitter, frequently by enzymatic regulated activity. Nitric oxide presumably operates within a 3-dimensional volume of tissue rather than, more conventionally, between immediately adjacent cellular partners (Kiss and Vizi, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B78">2001</xref>

<p>Neurochemical and morphological evidence indicate that many other neurotransmitters may be released from both synaptic and extrasynaptic sites for diffusion to target cells (Agnati et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1986</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">1995</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2010</xref>
; Descarries et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B34">1996</xref>

, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B45">2010</xref>
; De-Miguel and Fuxe, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B31">2012</xref>
). Dopaminergic signals can be inhibited or enhanced by a variety of identified factors that regulate axonal and somatodendritic dopamine release. Specific factors include dopamine autoreceptors, Ca<sup>2+</sup>
, glutamate, GABA, acethilcholine, opioids, cannabinoids, and the diffusible messengers hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide (Wightman, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B128">2006</xref>
; Rice et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B101">2011</xref>
). Recent findings indicate that nitric oxide may be involved in the extrasynaptic interactions (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1</xref>
; Kiss and Vizi, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B78">2001</xref>
; Kiss et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B79">2004</xref>
; Steinert et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B115">2008</xref>
). Volume signaling by nitric oxide is supported by studies modeling the spread of nitric oxide in space and time (Philippides et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B95">2000</xref>
). The function of nitric oxide as a “volume” transmitter has been proposed in systems where the source and target of nitric oxide are anatomically segregated (Gally et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B47">1990</xref>
; Wood and Garthwaite, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B131">1994</xref>
; Philippides et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B96">2005</xref>
; Steinert et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B115">2008</xref>
). Artinian et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">2010</xref>
) support the notion that cellular nitric oxide release can modulate neuronal firing properties in synaptically unconnected neurons, in direct support of nitric oxide functioning as a volume messenger.</p>
<p>Nitric oxide is a gaseous neurotransmitter and an unstable free radical highly diffusible in aqueous and lipid environments. Nitric oxide is produced from <sc>l</sc>
-Arginine by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) after <italic>N</italic>
-Methyl <sc>d</sc>
-Aspartate (NMDA) receptor activation and calcium influx (Snyder and Ferris, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B113">2000</xref>
; Garthwaite, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B48">2008</xref>
). Once inside target cells, nitric oxide binds the iron in the heme group contained within the active site of soluble guanylyl cyclase, thereby activating the enzyme to form cyclic guanosine monophosphate and other effector enzymes located in pre-synaptic and post-synaptic elements (Garthwaite and Boulton, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B49">1995</xref>
; Garthwaite, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B48">2008</xref>
). Also, nitric oxide can serve as a link between monoaminergic and glutamatergic synaptic extrasynaptic transmission (Kiss and Vizi, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B78">2001</xref>
; Vizi et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B121">2004</xref>
).</p>
<p>Given that nitric oxide is freely diffusible and thus can readily enter adjacent neuronal cells or other cells, NOS enzymatic activity is exceptionally regulated (Snyder and Ferris, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B113">2000</xref>
). There are at least three different forms of this enzyme (Griffith and Stuehr, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B56">1995</xref>
): the endothelial that is responsible essentially for cardiovascular actions, the inducible form found originally in macrophages and involved mainly in immune processes and the neuronal NOS (nNOS), present mostly in neurons but also in mitochondria and chondrocytes. All NOS contain multiple regulation sites (Griffith and Stuehr, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B56">1995</xref>
; see also Garthwaite, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B48">2008</xref>
; Steinert et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B115">2008</xref>
for review). Even though nearly all oxidative enzymes employ one electron donor, NOS is further complexed (Snyder and Ferris, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B113">2000</xref>
) since it possesses a tightly bound flavin adenine mononucleotide and dinucleotide, in addition to NADPH. It further utilizes heme and tetrahydrobiopterin as electron donors. NOS possesses sites for phosphorylation by the major phosphorylating enzymes, including cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C, calcium-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, and cyclic guanosine monophosphate-dependent protein kinase (see Garthwaite, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B48">2008</xref>
; Steinert et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B115">2008</xref>
for review). Hence, NOS must be activated every time a neuron releases nitric oxide, which is then released as soon as it is synthesized.</p>
<p>Neuronal NOS is a cytoplasmic enzyme (Garthwaite, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B48">2008</xref>
) that is expressed by discreet populations of neurons in the central nervous system (Vincent and Kimura, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B120">1992</xref>
). All nNOS interneurons express also nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate diaphorase (NADPH-d; Sancesario et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B106">2004</xref>
; see also Rushlow et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B104">1995</xref>
; Figueredo-Cardenas et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B42">1996</xref>
). Within the striatum, interneurons expressing nNOS are well characterized by cytochemical and physiological criteria (Kawaguchi, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B74">1993</xref>
; Kawaguchi et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B76">1995</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B75">1997</xref>
). nNOS-containing interneurons represent only about 1% of neuronal cells in the brain (Sancesario et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B106">2004</xref>
; see also Rushlow et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B104">1995</xref>
; Figueredo-Cardenas et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B42">1996</xref>
). Because nNOS is not necessarily confined to pre- or post-synaptic specializations, nitric oxide can potentially be released from extensive extrasynaptic regions of nitrergic neurons (Philippides et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B96">2005</xref>
). Therefore, the somata and dendrites of nNOS cells represent potentially large sources of nitric oxide (see Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1</xref>
).</p>
<p>Nitric oxide is an activity-dependent volume modulator, adapting intrinsic excitability and synaptic efficacy and modulating both active and inactive neuronal populations to the same physiological input (Gally et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B47">1990</xref>
; Philippides et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B96">2005</xref>
; Steinert et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B115">2008</xref>
). The proximity of the target cells is one factor that will determine the strength of the nitric oxide signal they receive. Even if the signal from a single small nitric oxide source is very local, multiple active sources can cooperate to cover large tissue volumes with nitric oxide concentrations that exceed those generated at the surface of a singly active source (Philippides et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B96">2005</xref>
). The proximity of the nitrergic inputs to dopaminergic inputs on medium spiny neurons in the striatum (Hidaka and Totterdell, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B62">2001</xref>
) suggests an important role for nitric oxide transmission in modulating the responsiveness of medium spiny neurons to afferent drive (for review see West et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B124">2002</xref>
). This consideration raises the possibility that the topography of nNOS-containing cells and the degree of their overlap with dopaminergic neurons may be of functional significance.</p>
<p>Dopamine neurons are easily identified by the presence of TH(+), a rate-limiting enzyme for catecholamine synthesis that catalyzes the conversion of tyrosine to <sc>l</sc>
-DOPA, the first step in catecholamine neurotransmitter production (Hökfelt et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B63">1976</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B64">1977</xref>
). TH(+) immunoreactive fibers and neurons are generally regarded as dopaminergic (Bouyer et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">1984</xref>
). In the brain, the synthetic enzyme for nitric oxide in neurons, the nNOS, is easily identified (Kawaguchi, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B74">1993</xref>
; Rushlow et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B104">1995</xref>
; Figueredo-Cardenas et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B42">1996</xref>
). Abundant evidence indicates interaction between nitrergic and dopaminergic systems playing an important role in the control of motor function and in the context of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s (Galati et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B46">2008</xref>
; Gomes et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B52">2008</xref>
) and <sc>l</sc>
-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (Padovan-Neto et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B91">2009</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B90">2011</xref>
; Novaretti et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B86">2010</xref>
; Yuste et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B133">2011</xref>
; Takuma et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B117">2012</xref>
; for review see Jenner, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B72">2008</xref>
; Del Bel et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B29">2011</xref>
; Iravani and Jenner, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B68">2011</xref>
; Pierucci et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B97">2011</xref>
; West and Tseng, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B126">2011</xref>
; Iravani et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B69">2012</xref>
). A similar localization/interaction in either neuronal compartment would reinforce the suggestion, whereby nitric oxide influences the outcome of a movement, perhaps, opening new strategies for novel therapeutic regimes.</p>
<p>Our aim is to explore the hypothesis that the spatial relationships between either axons or somata of the nitric oxide and dopaminergic cells may represent selective associations between the nitrergic and dopaminergic systems. For this purpose, the dual localization of immunoreactivity for NOS and tyrosine hydroxylase in neurons of the nigrostriatal pathway in the rat brain was examined by means of a double-immunohistochemical method and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM).</p>

To assess antibody specificity within the rat brainstem, liquid phase adsorption experiments were undertaken in the present study by incubating the K205 at working dilution (1:5000) with recombinant rat nNOS (1 mM) overnight at 4°C and then carrying out immunocytochemistry on brainstem sections using the adsorbed antiserum in parallel with the normal K205 (Simonian and Herbison, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B112">1996</xref>
). These experiments showed that all immunoreactivity was abolished by adsorption of the K205 antiserum.</p>
<p>Immunohistochemistry was performed using a standard peroxidase-based method (Gomes et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B52">2008</xref>
). The sections were incubated with the TH-specific primary antibody (1:2000, Pel Freez, Rogers, AR, USA) overnight at 4°C, followed by biotinylated secondary antibody (Vectastain ABC kit, Vector Laboratories) and HRP-conjugated streptavidin (Vectastain ABC kit, Vector laboratories) incubation. The sections were developed using diaminobenzidine as the chromogen, mounted on slides and cover slipped for subsequent microscopic observation. Structure localization was determined with the help of the Paxinos and Watson (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B93">1999</xref>
). Images containing TH immunostaining were captured with a digital Olympus DP70 camera mounted on a wide field microscope. Immunoreactive cells in a field of 1.02 mm × 0.78 mm were then counted using the image processing and analysis software package Image J.</p>
<p>Double-immunolabeling was carried out in the same brain region to characterize nNOS and TH expression. The sections were incubated overnight at 4°C with an anti-TH antibody (1:1000, Pel Freez, Rogers, AR, USA) followed by a 2 h incubation at room temperature with a secondary donkey anti-mouse IgG (H + L) antibody coupled to Alexa Fluor 488 (1:250; Invitrogen, Scotland, UK). After TH labeling, the tissue was washed three times with PBS and incubated overnight with a polyclonal antibody specific for rat nNOS (1:1000; sheep anti-nNOS, K205, gift of P. Emson, Cambridge, UK). The primary nNOS antibody was then revealed with a Cy3-coupled donkey anti-sheep IgG (H + L; 1:250; Jackson Immuno Research, USA). The primary antibodies were diluted in PBS (0.1 M; pH 7.4) containing 0.02% thimerosal, 5% normal goat serum (NGS, Jackson Immuno Research, USA), 0.2% Triton X-100, while the secondary antibodies were diluted only in PBS (0.1 M; pH 7.4).</p>
<p>Controls for the fluorescent double-labeling experiments involved the omission of one of the primary antibodies in the presence of the other and both secondary antibodies. In these experiments, neither Cy3 nor Alexa Fluor 488 staining was apparent on cells when either the TH or the nNOS antiserum was omitted. Double-stained sections were analyzed using a fluorescence microscopy setup (Nikon, Japan) equipped with a 60x objective (numerical aperture 1.4) and connected to an image analysis system (Mercator, Explora Nova, La Rochelle, France). A total of six sections of each selected brain region, encompassing rostral, middle, and caudal levels of the striatum, subthalamic nuclei, substantia nigra <italic>pars</italic>
compacta and reticulate, ventral tegmental area, and pedunculopontine nuclei were examined, as previously described (Debeir et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B28">2005</xref>

). DAPI (10 mg/mL in H<sub>2</sub>
O stock solution; Invitrogen D1306) was diluted 1:5000 with PBS (DAPI labeling solution). The slides were incubated for 1–5 min at room temperature in DAPI labeling solution. The slides were rinsed three times in PBS<sup>+</sup>

<p>Sections double-stained for nNOS and TH were inspected using a Leica SP2 and Leica SP5 confocal laser scanning microscopes (both Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany). Z-stacks of the frontal cortex were acquired with a 40× oil objective (1.25NA, HCX PL APO CS), while regions from the striatum and substantia nigra were acquired at the optical resolution limit (43 nm× 43 nm × 130 nm) with a 63× (HCX PL APO) oil objective and subsequently deconvolved with AutoQuant<sup>®</sup>
X (Ver. X2.2.1, Media Cybernetics, MD, USA) to obtain an improved signal-to-noise ratio. The Alexa Fluor 488 fluorophore (Abs = 495 nm, Em = 519 nm) was excited with the 488 nm laser line of an Ar-laser, while the Cy3 fluorophore (Abs = 550 nm, Em = 570 nm) was excited at 561 nm, with emission being collected in a line-by-line fashion at 500–530 and 570–650 nm, respectively.</p>

<p>Both hemispheres of all animals showed a similar distribution pattern of the TH(+) and nNOS(+) immunoreactive cells and fibers within the striatum-nigra pathway. Using CLSM optical sections acquired at the resolution limit, colocalized regions (Pearson correlation coefficient ≥0.7) were identified (yellow). The yellow pseudo-color for these structures visible in CLSM images could represent the superimposition of TH(+) immunoreactivity (green) on nNOS(+) immunoreactivity (red) neurons/fibers and <italic>vice versa</italic>
. Assessment of sections double-stained for nNOS(+) and TH(+) immunoreactivity revealed a considerable overlap of their topographies. The distribution of nNOS(+) immunoreactivity is generally in agreement with the data published by others using either an immunocytochemical (Bredt et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">1990</xref>

<p>The prefrontal, anterior cingulate, insular, piriform, perirhinal, entorhinal, motor, premotor, parietal, temporal, and posterior cingulate cortices had a dense distribution of TH(+) immunoreactive fibers. A small population of medium-large, intensely nNOS(+) immunoreactive multipolar neurons was found scattered throughout layers 2–4 of all examined cortices. The reaction product for nNOS(+) immunohistochemistry in the cortical neurons formed dense, conspicuous masses with no nuclei labeling.</p>

<p>We compared the spatial relationship between dopaminergic and nitrergic nigrostriatal fibers/cell body through the dual localization of the immunoreactivity for nNOS(+) and TH(+). The approach was based on double-immunohistochemical staining method using CLSM optical sections acquired at the resolution limit. A proximity analysis of TH(+) and nNOS(+) structures was done using binary masks generated from the respective maximum projections and revealed regions positive for both, nNOS(+) and TH(+) immunoreactivity, within a 2 μm-wide margin. Colocalized regions were identified with a Pearson correlation coefficient ≥0.7. A large proportion of nNOS(+) immunoreactive soma/axon/dendrite themselves were directly apposed by TH(+) immunoreactive ones, within a radius of 1 and 2 μm.</p>
<p>In the dopaminergic synapses, dopamine is released from pre-synaptic structures by exocytose, binds post-synaptic receptors and generates pre- and post-synaptic cascades of events (Bertorello et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">1990</xref>
; Beckstead et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">2004</xref>
; Jorgensen, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B73">2004</xref>
; Yao et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B132">2008</xref>
). The discovery that dopamine is located not only in the terminals but also in perikarya and dendrites of nigrostriatal neurons led to the suggestion that dopamine may be released from dendrites in the substantia nigra (Bjorklund and Lindvall, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">1975</xref>
; more information in the review from Trueta and De-Miguel, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B119">2012</xref>
). Subsequent immunohistochemical investigations have confirmed that the synthesizing enzymes (Tyrosine hydroxylase), for this catecholamine are also present in the dendrites of these neurons, some of which extend ventrally into the substantia nigra pars reticulata (Hökfelt et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B65">1984</xref>
; Jaeger et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B71">1984</xref>
). Release of dopamine from cell bodies and dendrites is typically referred to as somatodendritic release. Somatodendritic release of dopamine in the substantia nigra compacta and axonal dopamine release in the dorsal striatum are both necessary for the expression of basal ganglia-mediated motor behaviors and various cognitive functions. Dendritically released dopamine may modulate striatal outflow and thereby play an important role in basal ganglia function (Robertson and Robertson, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B102">1987</xref>
). Nigral dopamine neurons do not only release their transmitter into the striatum, but also interact with each other through release of dopamine from their somata and dendrites (Centonze et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">2003</xref>
; Rice and Cragg, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B99">2004</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B100">2008</xref>
; complementary information in the review from Trueta and De-Miguel, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B119">2012</xref>
).</p>
<p>As described by Cragg and Rice (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B27">2004</xref>
), the sphere-of-influence of dopamine spillover in a concentration adequate to stimulate dopamine receptor has a radius of 2–8 μm (see also Gonon, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B53">1997</xref>
; Arbuthnott and Wickens, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">2007</xref>
; Moss and Bolam, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B83">2008</xref>
; Rice and Cragg, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B100">2008</xref>
). Dopaminergic boutons correspond to almost 10% of all striatal synapses (Groves et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B57">1994</xref>
; Kreitzer, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B81">2009</xref>
), and the nearest-neighbor space among dopaminergic boutons is only 1.18 μm (Arbuthnott and Wickens, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">2007</xref>
; Kreitzer, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B81">2009</xref>
).</p>
<p>Nitric oxide at high concentrations can be used to mediate physiological responses in a restricted area over short periods (Kiss and Vizi, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B78">2001</xref>
; Kiss et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B79">2004</xref>
). It is predicted that the physiological volume of influence of a single source of nitric oxide that emits for 1–10 s has a diameter (in theory) of about 20 mm, corresponding to a volume of brain enclosing two million synapses (Wood and Garthwaite, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B131">1994</xref>
). Tornieri and Rehder (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B118">2007</xref>
) demonstrated that nitric oxide has physiological effects at distances of up to 100 μm (Tornieri and Rehder, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B118">2007</xref>
). It was described by Ignarro (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B67">2010</xref>
) that nNOS(+) immunoreactive neurons in the microenvironment could accomplish nitric oxide levels 100 times higher than required to stimulate for example, vasorelaxation of vascular smooth muscle cells. As described by Garthwaite and Boulton (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B49">1995</xref>
), nitric oxide generated at a single point source should be able to influence function within a sphere with a diameter of 300–350 μm, even with a half-life of a few seconds, which is very large compared with the dimensions of a synapse. Taking into account some of the known radical scavenging properties of the tissues, Beckman and Koppenol (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">1996</xref>
) reported the approximate ranges of diffusion for nitric oxide to be approximately 130 μm (Bidmon et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">2001</xref>
). Since medium-sized neurons are usually 10–25 μum in diameter, it becomes obvious that nitric oxide may diffuse into many cells</p>
<p>Therefore, our findings demonstrated that every nitric oxide molecule will be within overlapping spheres-of-influence of synaptically released dopamine in all the analyzed brain regions. Nitric oxide structures are likely to be within reach of a concentration of dopamine that is high enough to stimulate both high and low affinity receptors (Rice and Cragg, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B100">2008</xref>
). The topography of nNOS(+) and TH(+) immunoreactive cells and the degree of their overlap may be of functional significance.</p>
<p>Our observations are in agreement with Fujiyama and Masuko (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B43">1996</xref>
); Simonian and Herbison (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B112">1996</xref>
); DeVente et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B36">2000</xref>
); Hidaka and Totterdell (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B62">2001</xref>
); Benavides-Piccione and DeFelipe (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">2003</xref>
). In many cases, nitrergic terminals are closely apposed to TH(+) immunoreactive neuronal endings and both converge onto dendrites of spiny neurons (Hidaka and Totterdell, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B62">2001</xref>
). Alternatively, TH(+) immunoreactive neurons form direct synaptic contacts with nNOS(+) immunoreactive neurons (Hidaka and Totterdell, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B62">2001</xref>
). Fujiyama and Masuko (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B43">1996</xref>
) simultaneously demonstrated NADPH-d reactivity and TH(+) immunoreactivity within the same section of the rat striatum using electron microscopy. Symmetrical and asymmetrical synaptic contacts were found on cell bodies and proximal dendrites. Other extrasynaptic TH(+) immunoreactive boutons were occasionally associated with unlabeled terminals adjacent to the NADPH-d positive dendrites (Fujiyama and Masuko, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B43">1996</xref>
). Double-labeling techniques showed that a small population of NOS(+) neurons in the medulla also contained immunoreactivity to the aminergic neuron marker TH (Dun et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B39">1994</xref>
). Also, occasionally double-labeling for nNOS(+) and TH(+) could be observed in some neurons in rat primary mesencephalic cultures (Salum et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B105">2008</xref>
). In contrast, Klejbor et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B80">2004</xref>
) found numerous TH(+) and NOS(+) immunoreactive neurons in the ventral tegmental area. The presence of nNOS(+) immunoreactive cell staining in the rat entopeduncular nucleus, with typical honeycomb-like pattern in the nucleus was hardly ever described before (Del Bel et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B29">2011</xref>
). Most frequently, in the external globus pallidus, the presence of nNOS(+) neurons was described as almost absent. However, in the external globus pallidus, we observed nNOS(+) immunoreactivity, with a distinct punctuate pericellular labeling which seems to correspond to the neuronal soma and/or dendritic/axonal processes. TH(+) fibers make multiple contacts onto the nNOS(+) immunoreactive delineated structure. It is curious that Arellano et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">2004</xref>
) and Castro et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B22">2011</xref>
) have shown similar pericellular pattern of parvalbumin-positive labeling cells in the hippocampus of epileptic patients.</p>
<p>These anatomical arrangements facilitate nitric oxide-mediated modulation of pre- and post-synaptic events such as dopamine release (Hanbauer et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B59">1992</xref>
; Sancesario et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B107">2000</xref>
; West and Grace, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B125">2000</xref>
; DiGiovanni et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B37">2003</xref>
; DiMatteo et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B38">2009</xref>
; Park and West, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B92">2009</xref>
). Studies showing that nNOS(+) immunoreactive interneurons facilitate the concurrent release of dopamine and glutamate by a nitric oxide-dependent process (West and Galloway, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B123">1997</xref>
; West and Grace, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B125">2000</xref>
; Park and West, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B92">2009</xref>
), suggest that nitric oxide might contribute in the integration of convergent motor information in striatal networks (West and Grace, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B125">2000</xref>
). As gap junction permeability between medium-sized, densely spiny neurons can be modulated by dopamine in the nucleus accumbens (O’Donnell and Grace, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B87">1993</xref>
), and by nitric oxide in the dorsal striatum (O’Donnell and Grace, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B88">1997</xref>
), these inputs may act together to modulate activities of individual projection neurons by means of conventional chemical synapses, or may influence electrotonic transmission between networks of neurons connected by gap junctions.</p>
<p>Consequently, even though we generally did not find soma colocalization in the analyzed regions, the implications of this finding are far-reaching. The ultimate distribution of dopaminergic and nitrergic structures in the nigro-striatal pathway is unlikely to be a targeted phenomenon, suggesting that the populations of TH(+) and NOS(+) immunoreactive neurons interact with each other in all analyzed regions. Together, our observations corroborate evidence of dopamine and nitric oxide being intertwined in the anatomy in addition to physiology and pathology of the nigrostriatal pathway (Del Bel et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B30">2005</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B29">2011</xref>
; Jenner, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B72">2008</xref>
; Pierucci et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B97">2011</xref>
; West and Tseng, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B126">2011</xref>
; Iravani et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B69">2012</xref>
).</p>
<p>Nitric oxide (Calabresi et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">1999</xref>
) and dopamine (Calabresi et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">2000</xref>
) are essential for the expression of synaptic plasticity, although the effects of nitric oxide may not be restricted to synaptic release sites. nNOS(+) interneurons, via nitric oxide release, have a strong impact on corticostriatal information processing since they exert a modulatory influence on medium spiny neurons (Sardo et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B108">2002</xref>
; West and Grace, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B127">2004</xref>
) and control the induction of long term depression in medium spiny neurons (Calabresi et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">1999</xref>
; Sergeeva et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B110">2007</xref>
). Moreover, nitric oxide acts as a volume transmitter regulating post-synaptic excitability at glutamatergic synapses (Steinert et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B115">2008</xref>
). Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms of the interactions between the nitric oxide and dopaminergic systems have not been precisely clarified.</p>
<p>Neuromodulators including, nitric oxide play important roles in the physiology of striatal neurons. However, what is the role of the interaction between nitric oxide and dopamine? In the striatum, nitric oxide production has been linked to increased oxidative damage and to both, necrotic and apoptotic neuronal death (Brown and Borutaite, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">2002</xref>
; Kim and Koh, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B77">2002</xref>
; Ischiropoulos and Beckman, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B70">2003</xref>
; Przedborski et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B98">2003</xref>
; for a recent review see Brown, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">2010</xref>
). Since dopamine like nitric oxide is redox active (Przedborski et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B98">2003</xref>
), the production of nitric oxide within a TH(+) immunoreactive neuron may provide a unique vulnerability of this cellular subtype compared to other TH(+) immunoreactive neurons that also do not express nNOS(+). On the other hand, cellular nitric oxide demonstrated neuroprotective effects (Wink et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B130">1998</xref>
; Mohanakumar et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B82">2002</xref>
; Sancesario et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B106">2004</xref>
).</p>
<p>The interrelated localization of nNOS(+) and TH(+) containing fibers and cells bodies in the nigrostriatal pathway propose an anatomical link between the two neurotransmitters. Nitric oxide in combination with dopamine may represent suitable targets for therapeutic intervention in neurodegenerative diseases as for example Parkinson’s (for review see Przedborski et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B98">2003</xref>
; Del Bel et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B30">2005</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B29">2011</xref>
; Pierucci et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B97">2011</xref>
; West and Tseng, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B126">2011</xref>
). The success of this type of strategy is well documented in Padovan-Neto et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B91">2009</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B90">2011</xref>
), Novaretti et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B86">2010</xref>
), Brzozowski et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">2011</xref>
), Takuma et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B117">2012</xref>
), and in the recent reviews (Del Bel et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B30">2005</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B29">2011</xref>
; Jenner, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B72">2008</xref>

; West and Tseng, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B126">2011</xref>
; Iravani et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B69">2012</xref>
). Future studies will be required to understand how these two factors interact to regulate basal ganglia circuit function.</p>
