Residual hippocampal cholinergic functions after 192 IgG-saporin lesions of the medial septum/ventral diagonal band (MS/VDB)
Chang Q, Gold PE (2002) Residual hippocampal cholinergic functions after 192 IgG-saporin lesions of the medial septum/ventral diagonal band (MS/VDB). Neuroscience 2002 Abstracts 82.8. Society for Neuroscience, Orlando, FL. Summary: 192 IgG-saporin (SAP) injections into the MS/VDB reportedly destroy acetylcholine (ACh) neurons projecting to hippocampus (HC) without associated impairments of learning and memory on HC-dependent
Neonatal basal forebrain cholinergic lesions disrupt retention of socially transmitted food preferences and alter EEG activity in adult rats
Ricceri L, Moles A, Pezzola A, Popoli P, Calamandrei G (2002) Neonatal basal forebrain cholinergic lesions disrupt retention of socially transmitted food preferences and alter EEG activity in adult rats. Neuroscience 2002 Abstracts 82.9. Society for Neuroscience, Orlando, FL. Summary: Previous studies using selective neonatal lesions of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons showed mild long-term effects
Amphetamine hyperresponses in cholinergically denervated rats and alpha7 nAChR knockout mice, and effects of nicotinic agonists
Mattsson A, Lindqvist E, Ögren SO, Olson L (2002) Amphetamine hyperresponses in cholinergically denervated rats and alpha7 nAChR knockout mice, and effects of nicotinic agonists. Neuroscience 2002 Abstracts 136.7. Society for Neuroscience, Orlando, FL. Summary: We have recently shown that cholinergic denervation of the basal forebrain in adult rats, using intracerebroventricular injections of the cholinergic
Immunotoxin lesion of spinally projecting catecholamine neurons impairs the adrenal medullary response to glucoprivation and the sympathetic response to forced swim
Dinh TT, Duffy P, Ritter S (2002) Immunotoxin lesion of spinally projecting catecholamine neurons impairs the adrenal medullary response to glucoprivation and the sympathetic response to forced swim. Neuroscience 2002 Abstracts 76.5. Society for Neuroscience, Orlando, FL. Summary: Distinct populations of hindbrain catecholamine neurons project spinally to innervate sympathetic and adrenal medullary preganglionic neurons. Previously
Physiological and pharmacological characteristics of the inhibitory muscarinic response in septohippocampal cholinergic neurons.
Wu M, Xu C, Alreja M (2002) Physiological and pharmacological characteristics of the inhibitory muscarinic response in septohippocampal cholinergic neurons. Neuroscience 2002 Abstracts 35.7. Society for Neuroscience, Orlando, FL. Summary: Septohippocampal cholinergic neurons in the MSDB provide the hippocampus with almost its entire ACh and also release ACh locally within the MSDB. The released ACh
Cholinergic neurons in the rabbit forebrain: Chemoarchitecture, in vivo labeling, immunolesions
Varga C, Grosche J, Brauer K, Seeger J, Harkany T, Hartig W (2002) Cholinergic neurons in the rabbit forebrain: Chemoarchitecture, in vivo labeling, immunolesions. Neuroscience 2002 Abstracts 35.3. Society for Neuroscience, Orlando, FL. Summary: While the rabbit basal forebrain and its cholinergic components became useful targets for modeling of neuropathological changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease,
Effects of cholinergic deafferentation of rhinal cortex on visual recognition in monkeys
Turchi JN, Saunders RC, Mishkin M (2002) Effects of cholinergic deafferentation of rhinal cortex on visual recognition in monkeys. Neuroscience 2002 Abstracts 82.5. Society for Neuroscience, Orlando, FL. Summary: Excitotoxic lesions of the rhinal (perirhinal/entorhinal) cortices yield substantial deficits in visual recognition (Baxter and Murray, 2001; Malkova et al., 2001). To evaluate the mnemonic role
