Transfer effects and conditional learning in rats with selective lesions of medial septal/diagonal band cholinergic neurons.

Janisiewicz AM, Baxter MG (2003) Transfer effects and conditional learning in rats with selective lesions of medial septal/diagonal band cholinergic neurons. Behav Neurosci 117(6):1342-1352. doi: 10.1037/0735-7044.117.6.1342 Summary: Conditional learning appears to require cholinergic input to the hippocampus and cingulate cortex. Using a total of 0.5 µl of 0.12 µg/µl 192-Saporin (Cat. #IT-01) injected into the

Differential effects of cholinergic lesions on dendritic spines in frontal cortex of young adult and aging rats.

Harmon KM, Wellman CL (2003) Differential effects of cholinergic lesions on dendritic spines in frontal cortex of young adult and aging rats. Brain Res 992:60-68. doi: 10.1016/j.brainres.2003.08.029 Summary: The authors used 0.15 µg of 192-Saporin (Cat. #IT-01) injected into the nucleus basalis magnocellularis of rats to study whether dendritic spine density is altered by cholinergic

Extensive lesions of cholinergic basal forebrain neurons do not impair spatial working memory.

Vuckovich JA, Semel ME, Baxter MG (2004) Extensive lesions of cholinergic basal forebrain neurons do not impair spatial working memory. Learn Mem 11:87-94. doi: 10.1101/lm.63504 Summary: The authors wished to examine whether cerebellar Purkinje cells damaged during a cholinergic basal forebrain lesion might be the cause of impaired working memory. Four injections of 0.2-0.3 µl

Poster: Immunotoxic destruction of distinct catecholaminergic neuron populations disrupts the reproductive response to glucoprivation in female rats

Dinh TT, I’Anson H, Ritter S (2003) Poster: Immunotoxic destruction of distinct catecholaminergic neuron populations disrupts the reproductive response to glucoprivation in female rats. Neuroscience 2003 Abstracts 827.13. Society for Neuroscience, New Orleans, LA. Summary: Chronic glucoprivation suppresses estrous cyclicity in hamsters (Schneider et al. 1997) and rats (I’Anson et al. 2003). This suppression can

Lateralization of the attentional functions mediated via cortical cholinergic inputs

Sarter MF, Martinez V, Bruno JP (2003) Lateralization of the attentional functions mediated via cortical cholinergic inputs. Neuroscience 2003 Abstracts 921.20. Society for Neuroscience, New Orleans, LA. Summary: The role of basal forebrain (BF) corticopetal cholinergic projections in mediating attentional processing has been well established. For example, bilateral cortical cholinergic deafferentation produces robust impairments in
