title: [Cholinergic pyramidal Betz's and Meynert's neurons in human cerebral cortex].
abstract: A study was made of cytoarchitectonic fields 4 and 17 of the cerebral cortex of 5 men aged 33 to 67 years. Cholynacetyltransferase (CAT) and acetylcholinesterase (ACE) were identified in large and giant Betz and Meynert's pyramids. It has been established that 48 to 55% of the pyramids of layer V of the motor and visual cortex contain ACE and 19 to 22% of them contain CAT. Among the giant pyramids there could be distinguished cholinergic-cholinoceptive neurons containing CAT and ACE and cholinoceptive-noncholinergic cells synthesizing ACE.
