Fraction of neurons of the striatum that express calretinin

Range	rodents <1%: humans 10% % of striatal neurons
Organism	Human Homo sapiens
Reference	Ernst A et al., Neurogenesis in the striatum of the adult human brain. Cell. 2014 Feb 27 156(5):1072-83. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2014.01.044 p.1079 left column bottom paragraphPubMed ID24561062
Comments	P.1079 left column bottom paragraph: "Another major difference between rodents and humans may be the neuronal subtypes generated in the subventricular zone. Calretinin-expressing interneurons are much rarer in rodents, constituting less than 1% of striatal neurons, compared to humans, in whom 10% of striatal interneurons are calretinin positive."
