Acetylcholine is one of the most ubiquitous neurotransmitters in the mammalian central …

Publisher Summary The winds of cholinergic neuroanatomy have blown in many directions
since the pioneering studies of Koelle in the early 1950s and Shute and Lewis in the middle …

Neurons which synthesize and secrete acetylcholine (ACh) for the purpose of
neurotransmission are designated as cholinergic. The pioneering work of Otto Loewi …

Although acetylcholine (ACh) was one of the first neurotransmitters to be found in the central
nervous system, knowledge concerning the anatomical organization of cholinergic neurons …

The history and chemistry of acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter have been discussed in
other chapters in this book. In this chapter we are concerned with the neuroanatomy of …

Publisher Summary This chapter presents a summary of recent advances in choline
acetyltransferase (ChAT) antibody development and immunohistochemical applications and …

The postulate that acetylcholine (ACh) is a synaptic transmitter in the cerebral cortex has
received support from several lines of investigation. All the components of the cholinergic …

This chapter summarizes current knowledge about the anatomical organization of
cholinergic innervation in cerebral cortex. Many investigations over the last five decades …

1. Acetylcholine (ACh), cholinesterases and choline acetyltransferase (choline acetylase)
were estimated in the neural lobe and hypothalamus of the adult male rabbit. Acetylcholine …

Slices cut from five frozen human brains were dissected into 2‐mm cubes and assayed for
choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity and protein content. A pattern of enrichment of …
