Harrell LE, Parsons DS, Kolasa K (2005) The effect of central cholinergic and noradrenergic denervation on hippocampal sympathetic ingrowth and apoptosis-like reactivity in the rat. Brain Res 1033(1):68-77. doi: 10.1016/j.brainres.2004.11.021 Summary: Cholinergic denervation of the hippocampus is followed by ingrowth of peripheral sympathetic fibers originating from the superior cervical ganglion. The authors injected 1 µg […]

Turchi J, Saunders RC, Mishkin M (2005) Effects of cholinergic deafferentation of the rhinal cortex on visual recognition memory in monkeys. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 102(6):2158-2161. doi: 10.1073/pnas.0409708102 Summary: The rhinal cortex has been shown to play a critical role in recognition memory. The investigators examined the effect of eliminating cholinergic input

Brain Res Bull 64(5):381-394. doi: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2004.09.007 Summary: Much of the recent work done on the role of cholinergic neurons in the hippocampus has been focused on detecting subtle learning deficits. In this

Yoder RM, Pang KC (2005) Involvement of GABAergic and cholinergic medial septal neurons in hippocampal theta rhythm. Hippocampus 15(3):381-392. doi: 10.1002/hipo.20062 Summary: It is thought that hippocampal theta rhythm (HPCθ) is involved in attention and acquisition of sensory information. The HPCθ circuit includes the medial septum/diagonal band of Broca (MSDB), which projects to the hippocampus
