Physiological evidence indicates that central cholinergic pathways are involved in the regulation of cerebral cortical blood flow. We investigated the possible contribution of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons from the substantia innominata (SI) to the innervation of cortical microvessels.
The synaptic interactions between terminals of allocorticostriatal and thalamostriatal fibers and the cholinergic neurons in the nucleus accumbens were investigated using degeneration and dual labelling immunocytochemistry in Wistar rats. The presumptive cholinergic neurons were labelled with
The projections from the Ammon's horn to the cholinergic cell groups in the medial septal and diagonal band nuclei were investigated with anterograde tracing of Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin combined with immunocytochemical detection of choline acetyltransferase, in the rat. Tracer injections
In order to associate specific fiber projections in the central nervous system with specific target neurons, procedures were developed in which the anterograde neuroanatomical tracing technique utilizing Phaseolus vulgaris-leucoagglutinin (PHA-L) is combined with immunocytochemistry of three
A two-color fluorescence method is described for demonstrating immunohistochemically the anterogradely transported plant lectin Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin (PHAL, fluorescein isothiocyanate label) and choline acetyltransferase (ChAT, rhodamine label) on the same rat brain section. Application
Very few chromogens used in immunoperoxidase reactions can be combined to simultaneously localize two neural antigens with different labels at both light (LM) and electron (EM) microscopic levels. The objective of this study was to investigate the EM properties of a novel purple chromogen introduced
Injections of the anterograde tracer Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin (PHA-L) were placed in various striatal loci in the rat. Within the globus pallidus, PHA-L-filled striatofugal axons were seen to approach cholinergic neurons, identified with either acetylcholinesterase histochemistry or
Septal and entorhinal projections to the hippocampus show a considerable overlap in their target structures in the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus (DG) and stratum lacunosum-moleculare of the cornu ammonis (CA). Employing anterograde tracing methods, it was investigated in which way the
The aim of the present study was to determine, at the light microscopic level, whether the serotonergic fibers originating from the dorsal raphe nucleus (B7), median raphe nucleus (B8) and ventral tegmentum (B9) make putative synaptic contacts with cholinergic neurons of the nucleus basalis
The cholinergic innervation of the compact and reticular parts of the substantia nigra in the rat was investigated by use of highly sensitive retrograde and anterograde tract-tracing methods in combination with choline acetyltransferase immunohistochemistry. The fluorescent tracers True Blue,
A correlated light and electron microscopic study combining choline acetyltransferase immunocytochemistry with anterograde tracing of Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin revealed that axons of lateral hypothalamic neurons terminate on forebrain cholinergic projection cells. This finding is discussed
Neurons in the magnocellular nucleus of the caudal basal forebrain extend an axonal projection which arborizes within the reticular nucleus of the thalamus. The present study addresses the ultrastructure and neurochemistry of this projection in rats. Many labeled terminals are apparent within the
Employing the anterograde and retrograde axonal tracing techniques with Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin and cholera toxin B subunit, we demonstrated direct projections from the globus pallidus (GP) to the midbrain and pons in the cat. Cells of origin of these projections were localized in the
The arborization pattern and postsynaptic targets of corticofugal axons in basal forebrain areas have been studied by the combination of anatomical tract-tracing and pre- and postembedding immunocytochemistry. The anterograde neuronal tracer Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin was iontophoretically
Using a combination of anterograde and retrograde (Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin; PHA-L and wheat germ agglutinin conjugated horseradish peroxidase; WGA-HRP) tract-tracing methods and histochemical techniques, a new subdivision of the neostriatum, the marginal division, has been found in the
