Intrinsic excitation in the rat neostriatum mediated by acetylcholine
Neuroscience Letters
|May 1, 1979
Abstract:
Synaptic excitation elicited by local stimulation in neostriatal slices was found to be mediated by acetylcholine (ACh). The synapses generating this excitation belong to intrinsic neurons. Thus, for the first time, direct evidence for the existence of intrinsic excitatory cholinergic neurons in the neostriatum is provided.
