Abstract

The nucleus basalis of Meynert, which projects directly and diffusely to the cerebral cortex, was histologically identified in Nissl- and acetylcholinesterase-stained sections of the forebrain of Rhesus monkeys. Adjacent 1 mm thick sections were microdissected in 2 mm² blocks and assayed for choline acetyltransferase activity. The results demonstrate a marked enrichment of choline acetyltransferase activity in samples containing the nucleus basalis of Meynert and strongly suggest that this nucleus is a cholinergic nucleus in the primate.
