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 …

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 …

Acetylcholine (ACh) is believed to act as a neuromodulator in cortical circuits that support
cognition, specifically in processes including learning, memory consolidation, vigilance …

The morphological organization of putatively cholinergic neurons was studied in the
forebrain of two inbred mouse strains (C57BL/6 and DBA/2) by means of …

Acetylcholine (ACh) can act on pre-and post-synaptic muscarinic receptors (mAChR) in the
cortex to influence a myriad of cognitive processes. Two functionally-distinct regions of the …

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 …

A new rabbit polyclonal antiserum against choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) reveals that
cholinergic innervation of the cortex varies strikingly among different cytoarchitecturally …

A survey was made of the density of the cholinergic innervation of different parts of the
brainstem of the rat and ferret. Sections of rat and ferret brainstems were stained for choline …

Although the rabbit brain, in particular the basal forebrain cholinergic system, has become a
common model for neuropathological changes associated with Alzheimer's disease …

The in vitro autoradiographic technique was used to characterize the density and laminar
distribution of muscarinic cholinergic receptors in 12 cytoarchitectonic areas in the frontal …
