Cholinergic fibers, identified with an antibody to choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), are present in all layers of the GL. They are fine in caliber and exhibit numerous swellings along their lengths. The A layers, the magnocellular C layer, and the medial interlaminar nucleus are rich in cholinergic fibers that give rise to prominent clusters of boutons, while the parvicellular C layers contain fewer fibers that are more uniformly distributed. The interlaminar zones are largely devoid of ChAT\u2010immunoreactive fibers. Double\u2010label experiments show that cholinergic projections to the GL originate from two sources, the pedunculopontine reticular formation (PPT) and the parabigeminal nucleus (Pbg). The PPT contributes cholinergic fibers to all layers, while Pbg projections are limited to the parvicellular C layers.<\/jats:p><jats:p>The lateral geniculate nucleus has a much greater density of cholinergic fibers than the other principal sensory nuclei: the density of fibers in the A layers is more than three times greater than that in the ventral posterior nucleus (VP) or the ventral division of the medial geniculate nucleus (GMv). In contrast, serotonin (5\u2010HT)\u2010immunoreactive fibers are distributed with equal density across the principal thalamic nuclei, while tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)\u2010immunoreactive fibers (presumed to contain norepinephrine) are noticeably less dense in the GL than in the others. Monoaminergic fibers also differ from cholinergic fibers in their laminar distribution within the GL: both TH\u2010 and 5HT\u2010immunoreactive fibers are distributed evenly across the layers and interlaminar zones and are slightly more abundant in the parvicellular C layers than in the other layers.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Other thalamic nuclei rich in cholinergic fibers include the pulvinar nucleus, the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus, the intermediate nucleus of the lateral group, the lateral medial and suprageniculate nuclei (Graybiel and Berson: <jats:italic>Neuroscience<\/jats:italic> 5: 1175\u20131238, '80), and the paracentral and central\u2010lateral components of the intralaminar nuclei. This pattern matches the distribution of projections from the PPT and is similar, but not identical, to the pattern of acetylcholinesterase staining. The fact that most of the nuclei rich in cholinergic fibers have been implicated in visual sensory or visual motor functions suggests that cholinergic projections from the reticular formation play an especially important role in visually guided behavior.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/cne.902880411","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,1]],"date-time":"2005-01-01T21:42:31Z","timestamp":1104615751000},"page":"647-675","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":111,"title":["Cholinergic and monoaminergic innervation of the cat's thalamus: Comparison of the lateral geniculate nucleus with other principal sensory nuclei"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"288","author":[{"given":"David","family":"Fitzpatrick","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Irving T.","family":"Diamond","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Denis","family":"Raczkowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/29.6.7252134"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0006-8993(82)90119-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cne.902160106"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cne.902530409"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cne.901740204"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"198","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.04-01-00198.1984","article-title":"Terminal patterns of single, physiologically characterized optic tract fibers in the cat's lateral geniculate nucleus","volume":"4","author":"Bowling D.
