Characteristics of the Distribution of Acetylcholinesterase in the Posterolateral Nucleus of the Thalamus in Cats

Studies using histochemical detection of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) showed that two-weekold cats ( n = 4) had loci with higher enzyme activity in the lateral nucleus of the posterolateral complex of the thalamus and that these were not present in 14-week-old cats ( n = 4). These loci wer...

Description
Summary:Studies using histochemical detection of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) showed that two-weekold cats ( n = 4) had loci with higher enzyme activity in the lateral nucleus of the posterolateral complex of the thalamus and that these were not present in 14-week-old cats ( n = 4). These loci were distributed opposite to similar loci in the medial nucleus of the posterolateral complex. A possible relationship between these AChE loci and the organization of thalamocortical and corticothalamic projections is discussed.
