Afferents to Basal Forebrain Cholinergic Projection Neurons: An Update

  • Chapter
The Basal Forebrain

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 295))

Abstract

The basal forebrain cholinergic projection (BFC) system has been the focus of considerable attention as a result of evidence implicating it in a number of behavioral functions, including arousal, sensory processing, motivation, emotion, learning, and memory (Deutsch, 1983; Buzsaki et al., 1988; Richardson and DeLong, 1988; Durkin, 1989; Rolls 1989, Steriade and McCarley, 1990). Moreover, neuropathological changes in the BFC have been reported in a surprisingly large number of neurological diseases, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases (for ref. see Coyle et al., 1983; Mesulam and Geula, 1988; Arendt et al., 1989). BFC neurons in the rat are dispersed across a number of classically defined territories of the basal forebrain, as illustrated from a series of coronal sections in Fig. 1. However, using a computer graphic three-dimensional reconstruction technique (Schwaber et al., 1987) or manual reconstruction from camera lucida drawings (Fig. 2) it is evident that BFC neurons form a continuum, rather than being arranged as distinct nuclear groups.
