The ontogenic profiles of several cholinergic markers were assessed in the rat brain by
using quantitative in vitro receptor autoradiography. Brain sections from animals at different …

Although acetylcholine (ACh) was one of the first neurotransmitters to be found in the central
nervous system, knowledge concerning the anatomical organization of cholinergic neurons …

Acetylcholine (ACh) signaling shapes neuronal circuit development and underlies specific
aspects of cognitive functions and behaviors, including attention, learning, memory and …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the human brain cholinergic pathways.
Acetylcholine is one of the most ubiquitous neurotransmitters in the mammalian central …

Central cholinergic pathways have been implicated in the regulation of extrapyramidal motor
function, arousal, sleep, mood and especially memory (Karczmar, 1975). In keeping with the …

The distribution of cholinergic fibers in rat cortex was investigated using choline
acetyltransferase immunohistochemistry. Previous studies have either shown differences in …

Publisher Summary Acetylcholine (ACh) is known to exert profound modulatory effects on
information processing in the brain. For example, experimental blockade of cholinergic …

The present investigation analyzes the cellular distribution of muscarinic and nicotinic
acetylcholine receptors in rat neocortex, by use of monoclonal antibodies raised against …

Acetylcholine (ACh) concentration, choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and
acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were measured in 60 discrete areas dissected from the rat …

Three new cholinergic markers were employed to study the cholinergic innervation in the
thalamus of adult macaque monkeys. They were: two antibodies against choline …
