The cholinergic hypothesis states that cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain nucleus
basalis magnocellularis (nbm) that project to cortical and amy-gdalar targets play an …

Although the cholinergic system is involved in memory, noncholinergic systems may also
contribute to memory. Lesions of the nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM) produce …

Previous studies have shown a lack of association between cortical choline
acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity and severity of memory impairment following excitotoxic …

Lesions of the nucleus basalis magnocellularis in rats have been used to investigate
functions of the extrinsic cortical cholinergic system which originates from these neurons …

The effect of unilateral or bilateral lesions of the nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM) on
the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus were assessed using microanatomical and …

Ibotenic acid and kainic acid lesions of the basal forebrain induce profound deficits in
performance on a wide variety of tasks involving discrimination learning and memory. These …

The behavioral effects of lesions of the nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM) are
reviewed, focusing on the anatomical extent of the lesion, the involvement of …

A substantial body of literature has suggested that the memory and learning deficits
associated with Alzheimer's disease are attributable to degeneration of the cholinergic …

Cholinergic neurons in the nucleus basalis region of the forebrain project to various portions
of the cerebral cortex, including somatosensory cortex. Degeneration of these neurons and …

The role of the cholinergic nucleus basalis magnocellularis in spatial learning and memory
was studied in the rat. Animals received bilateral injections of ibotenic acid (5 μg/μl) into the …
