Effects of lesions of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons in newborn rats on susceptibility to seizures.

Silveira DC, Cha BH, Holmes GL (2002) Effects of lesions of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons in newborn rats on susceptibility to seizures. Dev Brain Res 139:277-283. doi: 10.1016/s0165-3806(02)00586-2 Summary: It has previously been shown that adult rats treated with the cholinergic lesioning agent 192-Saporin (Cat. #IT-01) display increased susceptibility to generalized seizures. Here, the authors

Long-term plastic changes in galanin innervation in the rat basal forebrain.

Hartonian I, Mufson EJ, de Lacalle S (2002) Long-term plastic changes in galanin innervation in the rat basal forebrain. Neuroscience 115(3):787-795. doi: 10.1016/s0306-4522(02)00453-0 Summary: One hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease is the hyperinnervation of surviving cholinergic basal forebrain neurons with galanin-IR fibers. This may exacerbate the cholinergic deficit. The authors injected 192-Saporin (140 nl of 0.075

Ablation of NK1 receptors in rat nucleus tractus solitarii blocks baroreflexes.

Riley J, Lin LH, Chianca DA, Talman WT (2002) Ablation of NK1 receptors in rat nucleus tractus solitarii blocks baroreflexes. Hypertension 40(6):823-826. doi: 10.1161/01.hyp.0000042089.34004.cf Summary: Stimulation of arterial baroreflexes releases the neuropeptide substance P (SP) from vagal afferent nerves within the nucleus tractus solitarii. To ascertain whether the neurons taking up this SP are critical
