Cholinergic neurons from the dorsolateral pons project to the medial pons: a WGA-HRP and choline acetyltransferase immunohistochemical study.

Abstract:

:In this study we determined that cholinergic neurons from the lateral dorsal tegmental (LDT) and peribrachial pontine region (PPG) innervate the medial pontine reticular formation (medial PRF), a region involved in the generation of REM sleep. Wheat germ agglutinin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP) was injected into the medial PRF and the brainstem tissue was processed using a combined retrograde transport/immunocytochemical procedure. Results showed that 10-15% of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) immunoreactive neurons in the LDT and PPG project to the medial PRF. It is hypothesized that these neurons play an important role in the generation of the REM sleep state.
