The regional distribution of cholecystokinin‐like immunoreactivity (CCK‐LI) in postmortem human brain material has been investigated. CCK‐LI was concentrated particularly in the forebrain (all cerebral cortical areas, amygdala, and hippocampus), with smaller amounts in the basal ganglia, hypothalamus, and periventricular grey. Lowest amounts of CCK‐LI were found in the thalamus, cerebellum, and spinal cord.
