Immunocytochemical mapping studies employing the extensively used monoclonal anti-
muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) antibody M35 are reviewed. We focus on three …

This review considers a number of recent theories on the neural basis of consciousness,
with particular attention to the theories of Bogen, Crick, Llinás, Newman, and Changeux …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia in the elderly. Hallmark AD
neuropathology includes extracellular amyloid plaques composed largely of the amyloid-β …

This paper proposes a physical model involving the key structures within the neural
cytoskeleton as major players in molecular-level processing of information required for …

This review seeks to address, though perhaps not answer fully, four important questions
about the cholinergic basal forebrain (BF) system in developing mammals. First, what role …

It is proposed that altered dendrite length and de novo formation of new dendrite branches
in cholinoceptive cells are responsible for long-term memory storage, a process enabled by …

Many syndromes associated with mental retardation (MR) are characterized by cortical
dendritic anomalies. Despite their morphological similarity, these changes appear to involve …

Recently, cholinergic afferents to cerebral cortex have met renewed attention regarding the
regulation of plasticity as well as cognitive processing. My laboratory has developed a …

It is hypothesized that the cholinergic and monoaminergic neurons of the brain form a global
network. What is meant by a global network is that these neurons operate as a unified …

Using immunohistochemistry and immunoblots, we show that alterations in hippocampal
microtubule-associated protein-2 appear to be highly correlated with contextual memory as …
