The cholinergic neurotransmission in the central nervous system plays an important role in
modulating cognitive processes such as learning, memory, arousal and sleep as well as in …

Rat and mouse models are widely used for studies in cognition and pathophysiology,
among others. Here, we sought to determine to what extent these two model species differ …

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 ontogenic profiles of several cholinergic markers were assessed in the rat brain by
using quantitative in vitro receptor autoradiography. Brain sections from animals at different …

Mapping of a number of biochemical markers for noradrenergic, dopaminergic,
serotoninergic, cholinergic and GABAergic systems was undertaken in 93 samples removed …

Acetylcholine (ACh) concentration, choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and
acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were measured in 60 discrete areas dissected from the rat …

Acetylcholine (ACh) is an important neurotransmitter of the CNS that binds both nicotinic and
muscarinic receptors to exert its action. However, the mechanisms underlying the effects of …

The distribution of presynaptic markers for cholinergic and GABAergic neurons in the
various layers of the lateral neocortex was determined with a techique in which sections of …

The distribution of muscarinic cholinergic receptors in the human forebrain and cerebellum
was studied in detail by quantitative autoradiography using N-[3 H] methylscopolamine as a …

The distribution of cholinergic fibers in the human brain was investigated with choline
acetyltransferase immunocytochemistry in 35 cytoarchitectonic subdivisions of the cerebral …
