Acetylcholinesterase activity of the mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus of Triturus cristatus carnifex.
This study deals with acetylcholinesterase activity in mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus neurons of the newt. These cells appear clearly positive to histochemical reaction. Electron microscope investigations revealed the fine localization of the enzyme in cell bodies. On the basis of the ultrastructural pattern of AChE distribution some considerations on the possible sites of utilization are discussed.
