Abstract

Cholinergic afferents to the neocortex controlled by the mesencephalic reticular formation (MRF) are known to transiently facilitate cortical excitability. In an attempt to identify the pathway mediating this effect in the cat visual cortex we combined retrograde tracing techniques with immunocytochemical methods to visualize the acetylcholine-synthesizing enzyme choline acetyltransferase (ChAT). In addition we examined, in acute electrophysiological experiments, whether local neurotoxin injections into nuclei of the basal forebrain interfered with the reticular facilitation of cortical evoked potentials. Cholinergic projections to area 17 originate from different centers in the homolateral substantia innominata/internal capsule, the septal nuclei, and the nuclei of the diagonal band of Broca. No direct cholinergic projection from the MRF to the visual cortex was observed. Retrogradely labelled cells intermingled with ChAT-positive neurons in the brainstem generally revealed immunopositivity for catecholaminergic markers. Local injections of neurotoxins in the substantia innominata blocked reticular facilitation, whereas local lesions of the septal nuclei and the nuclei of the diagonal band had no effect on MRF-induced facilitation. The blockage of the reticular facilitation of cortical evoked responses after unilateral lesions of the substantia innominata was bilateral, suggesting a cooperative interaction between basal forebrain structures of the two hemispheres. The anatom…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
