Cholinergic neuromodulation is a candidate mechanism for aspects of arousal and attention
in mammals. We have reported previously that cholinergic modulation in the primary visual …

Cholinergic stimulation of the cerebral cortex is essential for tasks requiring attention;
however, there is still some debate over which cortical regions are required for such tasks …

Acetylcholine release links the activity of presynaptic neurons with their postsynaptic targets
and thus represents the intercellular correlate of cholinergic neurotransmission. Here, we …

The distribution of neurons displaying choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) immunoreactivity
was examined in the feline brain using a monoclonal antibody. Groups of ChAT …

Information processing in the striatum requires the postsynaptic integration of glutamatergic
and dopaminergic signals, which are then relayed to the output nuclei of the basal ganglia to …

To obtain quantitative data on the distribution of the acetylcholine (ACh) innervation in the
dorsal hippocampus of adult mouse (C57/B6) and rat (Sprague‐Dawley), a …

Monoclonal antibodies to choline acetyltransferase and a histochemical method for the
concurrent demonstration of acetylcholinesterase and horseradish peroxidase were used to …

Acetylcholine (ACh) is believed to underlie mechanisms of arousal and attention in
mammals. ACh also has a demonstrated functional effect in visual cortex that is both diverse …

Publisher Summary The basal forebrain cholinergic projection system (BFC) has been the
focus of considerable attention as a result of evidence implicating it in a number of …

Immunocytochemical mapping studies employing the extensively used monoclonal anti-
muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) antibody M35 are reviewed. We focus on three …
