Recent experiments from several laboratories revealed that magnocellular nuclei of the
substantia innominata (SI) of the basal forebrain of primates and rats show a direct and …

We used an antibody to choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) to label cholinergic cells in guinea
pig brainstem. ChAT-immunoreactive (IR) cells comprise several prominent groups …

The ultrastructural distribution of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) in the dorsal
thalamus of the adult rat was studied by means of pre-embedding immunocytochemistry …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the microscopic visualization of cholinergic
receptors in the rat and human brain. The cholinergic receptors are well represented in the …

Using choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) immunocytochemistry and acetylcholinesterase
(AChE) histochemistry, we investigated regional and laminar differences in cholinergic …

Cholinergic neurons of the primate basal forebrain, termed the Chl-4 system (18), can be
identified by their chromophilia, intensity with which they stain for acetylcholinesterase …

Beyond its importance in sustaining or modulating different aspects of the activity of the
central nervous system (CNS), the cholinergic system plays important roles during …

Evidence from lesion and cortical-slice studies implicate the neocortical cholinergic system
in the modulation of sensory, attentional and memory processing. In this review we consider …

The distribution of presynaptic markers for cholinergic and GABAergic neurons in the
various layers of the lateral neocortex was determined with a techique in which sections of …

Background The existence and role of intrinsic cholinergic cells in the cerebral cortex is
controversial, because of their variable localization and morphology in different mammalian …
