Differences in the NADPH-diaphorase positivity of the cholinergic brain stem neurons following damage of theirs thalamic termination field

Abstract

Electrolytic lesions of axonal target areas of cholinergic brain stem nuclei lead to an upregulation of NOS expression in the parent cell bodies of ncl. latero-dorsalis, whereas the staining intensity in the pedunculo-pontine and parabrachial nuc
