  • Title: Putative cholinergic interneurons in the optic tectum of goldfish.
    Author: Tumosa N, Stell WK, Johnson CD, Epstein ML.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1986 Apr 09; 370(2):365-9. PubMed ID: 3708332.
    Abstract:
    We have demonstrated that a significant fraction of cells in layer 1 of goldfish optic tectum are immunoreactive for choline acetyltransferase. These cells constitute 4-7% of type XIV cells, which are thought to be intrinsic neurons and represent 95% of all tectal cells. The number of immunoreactive type XIV cells is unchanged following short-term enucleation. The possible integrative role of these putative cholinergic neurons is discussed in relation to sensory functions of the optic tectum.
