Acetylcholinesterase and Choline Acetyltransferase in Hippocampus after Various Septal Lesions in Rats

  • Chapter
Central Nervous System

Abstract

Selective lesions of various groups of neurons are commonly used in the examination of the functional roles of different parts of the brain. When combined with biochemical studies this method can be used to elucidate neurochemical relationships between various anatomically and functionally related structures of the brain.
