Cognitive functions in a patient with Parkinson-dementia syndrome undergoing deep brain stimulation.

30 May 2009 BACKGROUND: Dementia represents one of the most challenging health problems. Despite intense research, available therapies have thus far only achieved modest results. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment option for some movement ... Read more...

Acetylcholine innervation of the adult rat thalamus: distribution and ultrastructural features in dorsolateral geniculate, parafascicular, and reticular thalamic nuclei.

8 Dec 2008 The acetylcholine (ACh) innervation of thalamus arises mainly from the brainstem pedunculopontine and laterodorsal tegmental nuclei. By using immunocytochemistry with a monoclonal antibody against whole rat choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), we ... Read more...

Cholinergic signal transduction in the mouse sphenopalatine ganglion.

14 Sep 2008 The sphenopalatine ganglia (SPG) receive their preganglionic innervation from the ventro-lateral reticular formation and nuclei of the caudal pons, and are involved in parasympathetic control of cranial glandular and vascular components including ... Read more...
