title: Regional heterogeneity of choline acetyltransferase activity in primate neocortex.
abstract: Choline acetyltransferase activity in precentral and temporal regions of primate neocortex is 2.5-fold higher than in occipital cortex. These results suggest large differences in the density of innervation in different regions of primate neocortex by the nucleus basalis of Meynert.
