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

Previous studies have indicated that galanin is one of the most abundant peptides in the basal forebrain and that it has a significant modulatory influence on cholinergic transmission. The aim of the present study was to use a light electron microscopic correlation technique to determine whether gal
The extrathalamic relay from the brainstem reticular formation to the cerebral cortex in the basal forebrain has been thought to be constituted predominantly, if not exclusively, by cholinergic neurons. In contrast, the septohippocampal projection has been shown to contain an important contingent of
