In the intermediate layers of the rat and mouse colliculus there is a lattice-like pattern of high nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate diaphorase activity. This lattice is composed of dark bands that are 100-200 micron wide and enclose pale areas of irregular shape. A very similar lattice of high acetylcholinesterase activity is also found in the intermediate layers and this overlaps the diaphorase lattice almost completely. However, in deeper layers the enzymes have a complementary organization with high levels of one being associated with low levels of the other. It is concluded that the histochemical lattices will provide useful patterns with which to compare the terminal organization of afferent systems.
在大鼠和小鼠中脑的中间层，存在一种具有高烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸磷酸黄递酶活性的格子状图案。这个格子由宽度为100 - 200微米的暗带组成，这些暗带包围着形状不规则的浅色区域。在中间层还发现了一种非常相似的具有高乙酰胆碱酯酶活性的格子，它几乎与黄递酶格子完全重叠。然而，在更深的层中，这两种酶具有互补的组织形式，即一种酶的高水平与另一种酶的低水平相关联。得出的结论是，组织化学格子将提供有用的图案，用于比较传入系统的终末组织。
