The mammalian striatum is divided into compartments that are anatomically and
neurochemically distinct. The dorsal striatum has been described as containing two …

A complete anatomical analysis of central cholinergic systems is currently possible as a
result of the development of very sensitive immunohistochemical methods. Viewed in their …

Cholinergic neuromodulation, a candidate mechanism for aspects of attention, is complex
and is not well understood. Because structure constrains function, quantitative anatomy is an …

Publisher Summary It is well-established that the striatum contains a population of
cholinergic neurons, which can be revealed by using either acetylcholinesterase (AChE) …

Some of the cholinergic matters that were discussed in earlier chapters are pertinent to the
understanding of the cholinergic central nervous system; these include cholinergic cells and …

A cholinergic neuron, ie, a neuron which utilizes acetylcholine (ACh) as a neurotransmitter,
has several specific neurochemical features: a releasable pool of ACh; the enzyme …

Mice of the inbred strains C57BL/6 and DBA/2 show strain-dependent behavioural
differences which have been correlated with variations in brain cholinergic systems. In the …

1. The whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used to study the membrane properties of
identified cholinergic and noncholinergic laterodorsal tegmental neurons in slices of rat …

Autoradiographic labelling of muscarinic (Ml, M2, NMS binding sites) and nicotinic receptors
shows an inhomogeneous distribution over architectonically identified cortical areas of the …
