Cortical acetylcholine is involved in key cognitive processes such as visuospatial attention.
Dysfunction in the cholinergic system has been described in a number of neuropsychiatric …

A method for determining the length of acetylcholine (ACh) axons and number of ACh axon
varicosities (terminals) in brain sections immunostained for choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) …

The basal forebrain cholinergic neurons provide acetylcholine to the cortex via large
projections. Recent molecular imaging work in humans indicates that the cortical cholinergic …

Cholinergic innervation of the basal ganglia is important in learning and memory. Striatal
cholinergic neurons integrate cognitive and motivational states with behavior. Given these …

Acetylcholine (ACh) plays a major role in central autonomic regulation, including the control
of arterial blood pressure (AP). Previously unknown neuroanatomic substrates of cholinergic …

It is now well established that anticholinergic agents such as atropine increase the evoked
release of ACh from the cerebral cortex in vivo (15, 22) and from cortical slices in vitro (2, 3) …

Agonist induced short-term down-regulation of central muscarinic cholinergic receptors in
mechanically dissociated cells of the mouse brain has been shown to predict the efficacy of …

Extracellular single‐unit recording and iontophoresis were used to examine the effects of
different cholinoceptor agonists and antagonists on the firing rate and firing pattern of A9 …

Measurements of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity were made during the
development of the neocortical cholinergic innervation, and correlated with the development …

Motoneuron precursors acquire some principles of their spatial organization early in their
cell lineage, probably at the blastula stage. A predisposition to the cholinergic phenotype in …
