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

The present investigation analyzes the cellular distribution of muscarinic and nicotinic
acetylcholine receptors in rat neocortex, by use of monoclonal antibodies raised against …

Using immunofluorescence histochemistry, in the human cerebral cortex neurons
immunoreactive for both nicotinic and muscarinic acetylcholine receptor proteins could be …

The monoclonal antibody M 35 was used to study the cellular and subcellular distribution of
muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the human cerebral cortex. M 35, raised against …

Cholinergic fibers from the basal forebrain are known to contact cholinoceptive cortical
pyramidal neurons. Recent electrophysiological studies have revealed that nicotinic …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the microscopic visualization of cholinergic
receptors in the rat and human brain. The cholinergic receptors are well represented in the …

The distribution of nicotinic and muscarinic receptor subtypes was examined in human brain
tissue obtained at autopsy from neurologically normal adult (50-60 years) individuals …

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 …

Publisher Summary Nicotinic cholinoceptor (nAChR) function in the brain tissue has been
approached from a number of directions. Electrophysiologists have tended to concern …
