Craig LA, Hong NS, Kopp J, McDonald RJ (2009) Selective lesion of medial septal cholinergic neurons followed by a mini-stroke impairs spatial learning in rats. Exp Brain Res 193(1):29-42. doi: 10.1007/s00221-008-1592-5
Summary: Recent work has suggested that reduced levels of acetylcholine, seen in Alzheimer’s disease patients, increases the susceptibility of hippocampal neurons to future challenges. Rats received two injections totaling 7.5 ng of 192-IgG-SAP (Cat. #IT-01) into the medial septum/vertical limb of the diagonal band of Broca. The vasoconstrictor endothelin-1 was used to create small localized strokes in the hippocampus of lesioned animals. The data suggest that loss of these hippocampal neurons compromises functional recovery from stroke.
