Improved choline acetyltransferase immunohistochemistry in the red nucleus by blocking the axonal transport.
Following blockage of the protein transport by colchicine or by interruption of the rubrofugal descending pathway, choline acetyltransferase-immunoreactive neurons were found in the red nucleus of the rat. Their morphology and location suggest that they are rubrospinal neurons.
