The effects of microinjections of a cholinergic agonist, carbachol (0.2 μg/0.2 μl), were
examined on three different types of rostrally projecting tonic neurons that we have reported …

The release of acetylcholine from cholinergic interneurons (ChIs) directly modulates striatal
output via muscarinic receptors on medium spiny neurons (MSNs). While thalamic inputs …

The distribution of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor protein (mAChR) in the rat forebrain
and upper brainstem was described by using a monoclonal antibody (M35) raised against …

Acetylcholine is a major neurotransmitter that modulates cortical functions. In addition to
basal forebrain neurons that give rise to the principal cholinergic input into the cortex, a …

The extracellular electrophysiological properties of neurons in the laterodorsal tegmental
nucleus (LDT), a major source of cholinergic afferents to the thalamus, were studied in …

Muscarinic cholinergic binding in the substantia nigra of the cat was documented during
development and at maturity with autoradiographic methods by labeling the …

2. Recent advances in methodology,........................ 2.1. The pharmacohistochemical
procedure for the identification of choline& perikarya. 2.2. Immunohistochemistry of choline …

Light microscopic autoradiography of [3H] quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB) binding sites was
used to study the distribution of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the mouse, rat, guinea …

Prior studies have suggested the presence of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (MAChR)
subtypes within the mammalian central nervous system on the bases of functional ligand …

The basal forebrain cholinergic system modulates neuronal excitability and vascular tone
throughout the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. This system is severely affected in …
