2005, Developmental Brain ResearchPontine cholinergic neurons depend on three neuroprotection systems to resist nitrosative stress
2004, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :However, later steps in cholinergic differentiation include dendritic development, axonal growth, and establishment of functional connections within target regions. For the subdivisions of the basal forebrain, these events occur during the first and second postnatal weeks [11,16,35,38,39]. To study these three populations in parallel cultures, we made use of the protocols developed by Knusel and Hefti [23] and Knusel et al. [24], who compared trophic responses of pontine and medial septal (MS) cholinergic neurons to various growth factors.

2004, Progress in Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :The precedence of p75-NGFR over ChAT is consistent with the hypothesis that NGF supports differentiation of cholinergic neurons. Consistent with the results with p75-NGFR immunoreactivity, ChAT-ir neurons in both the medial septum and basal nucleus in postnatal rat increase in size and dendritic complexity toward the end of the third postnatal week, followed by shrinkage and simplification to reach adult-like morphology by 45 days (Sofroniew et al., 1987; Gould et al., 1989, 1991). For example, somatic area grows rapidly over the first 2–3 postnatal weeks to 2–5 times the size at birth, and this is followed by a decrease by approximately 50% to reach adult size (mean somatic areas of 94, 380 and 270 μm2 at P1, P18 and in adult, respectively, in the basal nucleus; Gould et al., 1991; Fig. 9).
