Abstract
This review concerns the relationship between electrophysiological activity of the brain and the central cholinergic system. This dipole may be construed in a sense so broad as to be beyond the space limitations of this article; thus, further defining is necessary. Electrophysiological activity to be reviewed here is generated by neuronal populations rather than single neurons, as it involves cholinergically mediated changes in ongoing electrical activity of neuronal populations referred to as electroencephalograph (EEG), electrocorticogram (ECoG), etc. Another major response of neuronal populations, which is also the subject of this review is the compound potential evoked by peripheral or brain stimulation (EP). On the other hand, while the EEG and ECoG are generated by the summation of individual postsynaptic potentials and related phenomena, the pertinent unitary mechanisms whether concerning noncholinergic or cholinoceptive and cholinergic neurons cannot be reviewed in the present context.
