Ocular Dominance Plasticity in Kitten Visual Cortex: Integration of Noradrenergic and Cholinergic Regulation

  • Chapter
Activation to Acquisition

Abstract

Sensory cortex is a part of various ascending fiber projection systems, each of which originates from a relatively small number of chemically identified cells in the basal forebrain, brainstem or medulla. Catecholamine (CA) histochemistry, invented by the Swedish school in the early 1960’s, indeed opened up a new possibility of identifying each neuron based on its chemical signature or transmitter phenotype. The recent advent in development of specific immunological probes has further led to the explosion of detailed cytochemical mapping on the ascending fiber projection systems. Noradrenaline (NA) fibers, originating from the locus coeruleus (LC) in the dorsal tegmentum, mesocortical dopamine (DA) fibers from the mesencephalon, serotonin (5-HT) fibers from the raphe groups in the pons, and the basal forebrain acetylcholine (ACh) system, are among the best characterized ascending projection systems. They consist of slow-conducting, non-myelinated or poorly myelinated axons.
