Soft-food diet induces oxidative stress in the rat brain.

abstract：:In urethane-anesthetized rats single neuronal activity was recorded in the laterodorsal tegmental nucleus (LDT), which has a dense complement of cholinergic neurons, and in the dorsal raphe and locus coeruleus for comparison. Most LDT neurons responded antidromically to stimulation of either one or more of several ros...
