Age-Related Alterations in Orexin Modulation of Septo-Hippocampal Neurotransmission
… and memory, such as the hippocampus and the medial septum (MS) of the basal forebrain. Within the MS, orexin innervates cholinergic and GABAergic parvalbumin (PV) containing neurons that project to the hippocampus via the septo-hippocampal pathway. This anatomy suggests that orexin exerts …

Selective Lesion of Cholinergic Neurons of the Septal-Hippocampal Tract: Memory and Learning
… that the loss of cholinergic function in the medial septum (MS), observed early in many forms of dementia, contributes to memory losses characterized in these diseases. The studies of this dissertation examined whether the selective loss of cholinergic neurons in the MS impairs acquisition of …

The Effect of Selective Cholinergic Lesion of Medial Septum on Recognition Memory
… neurotoxin, 192IgG-saporin (SAP), into the medial septum (MS) of Sprague-Dawley rats was utilized to establish an animal model of cholinergic deficit of the septal-hippocampal tract, which had been expected as a pathologic model of memory impairment for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Three types …

Low-Frequency-Induced Synaptic Potentiation: a Paradigm Shift in the Field of Memory-Related Plasticity Mechanisms?
… single pulse stimulation (1 Hz) of the medial septum (MS) and CA3 hippocampal (H) commissural fibres results in a long-lasting potentiation of field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSPs) in CA1 of urethane-anesthetised rats (MS-H-LTP). MS-H LTP is long lasting (>5 h), requires a …

Forebrain Acetylcholine in Action: Dynamic Activities and Modulation on Target Areas
<p>Forebrain cholinergic projection systems innervate the entire cortex and hippocampus. These cholinergic systems are involved in a wide range of cognitive and behavioral functions, including learning and memory, attention, and sleep-waking modulation. However, the <italic>in vivo</italic> …
