• The substantia innominata also innominate substance, or substantia innominata of Meynert (Latin for unnamed substance) is a series of layers in the human brain consisting partly of gray and partly of white matter, which lies below the anterior part of the thalamus and lentiform nucleus. (wikipedia.org)
  • We used whole-cell patch-clamp recordings in in vitro rat brain slices to investigate the effect of adenosine on identified cholinergic and noncholinergic neurons of the magnocellular preoptic nucleus and substantia innominata. (nih.gov)
  • Adenosine (0.5-100 microM) reduced the magnocellular preoptic nucleus and substantia innominata cholinergic neuronal firing rate by activating an inwardly rectifying potassium current that reversed at -82 mV and was blocked by barium (100 microM). (nih.gov)
  • Adenosine was also tested on two groups of electrophysiologically distinct noncholinergic magnocellular preoptic nucleus and substantia innominata neurons. (nih.gov)
  • These results demonstrate that, in the magnocellular preoptic nucleus and substantia innominata region of the basal forebrain, adenosine inhibits both cholinergic neurons and a subset of noncholinergic neurons. (nih.gov)
  • Histological analysis showed that infusions of 192-IgG saporin into the BF removed cholinergic neurons primarily from the nucleus basalis of Meynert and the more ventral substantia innominata (Fig. 2 a,b) and anti-ChAT-SAP infusions into the PPN resulted in the almost complete loss of cholinergic neurons in this region (Fig. 2 c,d).

  • The substantia innominata (SI) contains the nucleus basalis of Meynert, which is the major source of cholinergic input to the cerebral cortex. (e-jmd.org)
  • Acetylcholine-producing cells are found in multiple regions of your midbrain and brainstems, including the nucleus basalis, substantia innominata, and septum. (livemomentous.com)
  • ACh cells are located within collections of nuclei within your brainstem and midbrain such as nucleus basalis, the septum, the substantia innominata, the diagonal band of Broca, pedunculopontine nucleus and laterodorsal tegmental area. (poweronpoweroff.com)
  • A portion of the substantia innominata, below the globus pallidus is considered as part of the extended amygdala. (wikipedia.org)
  • Neuronal loss in the substantia nigra with pigment-laden macrophages and neuromelanin pigment spilled into the neuropil background (pigment incontinence). (medscape.com)
  • Tau-positive neuronal inclusions in neurons of the substantia nigra (no alpha synuclein-positive inclusions, as are found in Parkinson disease). (medscape.com)
  • The PPN was shown to connect to the STN and GPi anteriorly, to the cerebellum inferiorly, and to the substantia nigra anteriorly and superiorly. (ufl.edu)
  • Unlike glutamate and GABA, whose cells are located throughout the brain, dopamine cell bodies are only found in small collections of nuclei within your "midbrain" - such as the ventral tegmental area and substantia nigra. (poweronpoweroff.com)
  • While George didn't find differences in the volume of the substantia innominata between the two groups, she did find differences in the parts of the brain that those neurons connect to. (technologyreview.com)
  • Significant blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) increases occurred in the medial and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, midbrain, substantia innominata, and/or amygdala, and in the posterior cortical visual areas for both stimulus types. (mit.edu)
