The concept that galanin (GAL) is cosecreted with acetylcholine (ACh) into the ventral hippocampus is a major component of the current model delineating GAL regulation of the cholinergic memory pathways in the rat. Although GAL-immunoreactivity coexists in 50-70% of cholinergic neurons in the basal
The present study examined survival-and growth-enhancing effects of cortical cells on basal forebrain cholinergic neurons (BFCNs) in culture and the degree to which endogenous nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) contribute to those trophic e
Using microdialysis and high-performance liquid chromatography, we measured acetylcholine (ACh) release simultaneously from two cortical sites in anesthetized rats. One site was always in the somatosensory cortex, and the other was in either the visual or the motor cortex. After baseline measurement
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a potential treatment for cholinergic dysfunction associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). In rats, NGF activates gene expression of the acetylcholine synthetic enzyme choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and prevents age-and lesion-induced degeneration of basal forebrain (
