Substance P containing and cholinergic projections from the habenula

Abstract

Electrolytic lesions and surgical transection of the habenulo-interpeduncular-ventrotegmental tract have established the existence of separate habenulo-interpeduncular-ventrotegmental substance P and cholinergic projections. Micro-knife lesions separating the habenula nuclei showed the medial habenular nucleus to be the source of substance P fibres running via the fasciculus retroflexus to the ventral tegmental area. The lateral habenular nucleus receives a substance P projection from the medial habenular nucleus and is the source of cholinergic projection to the interpeduncular nucleus and to the medial habenular nucleus. Lesions of the ventrotegmental-interpeduncular area did not modify the levels of substance P and choline acetyltransferase in the habenula. These observations suggested that there are no substance P or ACh containing afferents to the habenula from the ventrotegmental-interpeduncular area and the accumulation of substance P and AChE proximal to but not caudal to transections of the fasciculus retroflexus confirmed this view.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The MHb contains neurons that produce acetylcholine or substance P, and a small population that produces interleukin-18.

    “MHb is comprised of neurons that produce the neurotransmitters acetylcholine (ACh) or substance P (Cuello et al. 1978;Eckenrode et al. 1987), and a small population that produce the cytokine interleukin-18 (IL-18) (Sugama et al. 2002).”

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.
