Pathway of acetylcholinesterase containing nerves to the major cerebral arteries in rats

The Journal of Comparative Neurology
H Hara, B Weir

Abstract

The pathway of nerves containing acetylcholinesterase (AChE) to the major cerebral arteries was investigated in the rat. In this species, the internal ethmoidal artery (IEA) arises from the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) and anastomoses with the external ethmoidal artery (EEA), forming the ethmoidal rete on the cribriform plate. The ethmoidal nerve (EN) and EEA enter the cranial cavity through the ethmoidal foramen. Densely distributed adventitial nerve plexi were present around the IEA, ethmoidal rete, and EEA. Many thick nerve bundles were found in the periadventitial layers in association with these vessels. Around the EN, just before it enters the ethmoid foramen, intensely staining nerve bundles were present that entered the cranial cavity with the EN. After unilateral section of the EN and EEA, a marked decrease of the nerve fibers was observed around the arteries of the anterior part of the circle of Willis on the operated side, whereas the basilar artery (BA) showed a moderate decrease in the AChE activity. After bilateral section of the EN and EEA, nerves disappeared from around all the major cerebral vessels including the BA. Section of the EEA alone did not produce any visible change of the cerebral perivascular inne...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
