title: [Cholinergic pyramidal neurons of the motor region of human neocortex].
abstract: By means of histochemical methods for revealing +choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) cytoarchitectonic of the field 4 of the motor cortex of the cerebrum has been studied in 5 persons at the age of 33-65 years. An essential part of neurons at revealing AChE and most of them at revealing ChAT do not react. Among giant pyramidal neurons (Bets) according to ChAT activity, 4 types are distinguished: neurons with low, middle, high and very high activity. The presence of ChAT is ascertained in middle and large pyramidal neurons of the III layer. Presence of ChAT-positive synapses is demonstrated in apical dendrites. A conclusion is made that less part of the pyramidal in the III, V layers are cholinergic ones.
