title: Cholinergic and non-cholinergic neurons of cat basal forebrain project to reticular and mediodorsal thalamic nuclei.
abstract: Choline acetyltransferase immunohistochemistry combined with the retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase showed that the reticular and mediodorsal thalamic nuclei of the cat receive an important input from cholinergic and non-cholinergic neurons of substantia innominata and adjacent structures in the basal forebrain.
