Background: The recent availability of antisera to the vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) and choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) that demonstrate peripheral cholinergic neurons has made possible the anatomical identification of cholinergic neurons in the enteric nervous system. In this study,
Cholinergic activation of dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) is thought to play a major role in cognitive functions and reward. These dopaminergic neurons differentially project to cortical and limbic forebrain regions, where their terminals differ in levels of expression of th
