Abstract
The present experiment was designed to investigate the depletion and possible recovery of neocortical choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) levels following damage to the basal forebrain cholinergic (Ch) system in rats. A unilateral injection of ibotenic acid was made into the left nucleus basalis of Meynert (nbM). Seven days after the injection, neocortical ChAT levels had decreased 60%. After 3 months it had returned to normal. Thus this system shows extensive plasticity and recovery of function with time.Entities:
