Intracerebral grafting of neuronal cell suspensions. VII. Recovery of choline acetyltransferase activity and acetylcholine synthesis in the denervated hippccampus reinnervated by septal suspension implants
The time-course and magnitude of fibre outgrowth from septal suspension grafts injected into the previously denervated hippocampal formation was monitored by measurements of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), and the activity of the grafted neurons was assessed by measurements of [14C]acetylcholine (ACh) synthesis from [14C]glucose in vitro. Graft-derived ChAT activity was barely detectable 10 days
