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

Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), the acetylcholine (ACh) synthesizing enzyme, has been
localized immunocytochemically with a monoclonal antibody inlight and electron …

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

An atlas of the distribution of cholinergic cell bodies, fibers, and terminals, as well as
cholinoceptive cells, in the central nervous system of the cat (excluding the cerebellum) is …

Publisher Summary This chapter provides an update and overview of the anatomy of central
cholinergic systems, and discusses some areas about which controversy and uncertainty …

All sectors of the human cerebral cortex receive dense cholinergic input. The origin of this
projection is located in the Ch4 cell group of the nucleus basalis of Meynert. However, very …

The cholinergic innervation of rat cerebral cortex was studied by immunohistochemical
localization of choline acetyltransferase. Stained bipolar cells, fibers and terminals were …

A survey was made of the density of the cholinergic innervation of different parts of the
brainstem of the rat and ferret. Sections of rat and ferret brainstems were stained for choline …
