Publisher Summary The basal forebrain is composed of an affiliation of heterogeneous
structures and includes the medial septum, ventral pallidum (VP), diagonal band nuclei …

Acetylcholine (ACh) has long been implicated in the regulation of arousal or wakefulness.
However, the anatomical basis for this regulation had been missing because relatively little …

The neurochemical identity of ascending putative cholinergic pathways from the rat basal
forebrain was investigated employing a method for simultaneouly visualizing choline …

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

Cholinergic projections from the basal forebrain to some regions of the frontal cortex were
studied by infusing propidium iodide (PI), a fluorescent tracer, into areas 6 and 10 and …

The organization of projections from the cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain to
neocortex and associated structures was investigated in the rhesus monkey with the help of …

The basal forebrain‐cortex connections of the rat were topographically mapped by
retrograde tracer methods; and their contribution to the cholin‐ergic innervation of the cortex …

The role of basal forebrain corticopetal cholinergic projections in attentional functions has
been extensively investigated. For example, 192 IgG-saporin-induced loss of cortical …
