Projections of cholinergic and non-cholinergic neurons of the brainstem core to relay and associational thalamic nuclei in the cat and macaque monkey
Abstract
The projections of brainstem core neurons to relay and associational thalamic nuclei were studied in the cat and macaque monkey by combining the retrograde transport of wheat germ agglutinin conjugated with horseradish peroxidase with choline acetyltransferase immunohistochemistry. All major sensory (medial geniculate, lateral geniculate, ventrobasal), motor (ventroanterior, ventrolateral, ventromedial), associational (mediodorsal, pulvinar, lateral posterior) and limbic (anteromedial, anteroventral) thalamic nuclei of the cat were found to receive projections from cholinergic neurons located in the peribrachial area of the pedunculopontine nucleus and in the laterodorsal tegmental nucleus as well as from non-cholinergic neurons in the rostral (perirubral) part of the central tegmental mesencephalic field. Specific relay nuclei receive less than 10% of their brainstem afferents from non-cholinergic neurons located at rostral midbrain levels and receive 85-96% of their brainstem innervation from a region at midbrain-pontine junction where the cholinergic peribrachial area and laterodorsal tegmental nucleus are maximally developed. Of the total number of horseradish peroxidase-positive brainstem neurons seen after injections in various specific relay nuclei, the double-labeled (horseradish peroxidase + choline acetyltransferase) neurons represent approximately 70-85%. Three to eight times more numerous horseradish peroxidase-labeled brainstem cells were found after injections i…

In the citing paper
“The LDT contains cholinergic neurons (Mesulam et al., 1989), which project to several thalamic nuclei including the reticular nucleus of the thalamus (Steriade et al., 1988) and to basal forebrain regions such as the substantia innominata (Muller et al., 1993).”

“The PnO sends presumably glutamatergic projections to the intralaminar nuclei of the thalamus, which in turn project to various cortical regions (Brodal, 1957;Steriade et al., 1988;Newman and Ginsberg, 1994).”

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.
