title: The effect of muscarinic and nicotinic ACh antagonist on the facilitation of rat visual cortical responses.
abstract: Combined blockade of both muscarinic and nicotinic receptors fully eliminated the effect of reticular facilitation in rat visual cortex. However, this effect lasted only 2 h, what can suggest that there may be other excitatory input to the cholinergic neurones in rat visual cortex which is activated after blockade of cholinergic transmission.
