Distribution of choline acetyltransferase‐immunoreactive neurons in the brain of a cyprinid teleost (Phoxinus phoxinus L.)
The distribution of putative cholinergic neurons in the brain of a cyprinid teleost was investigated by immunocytochemistry, with well‐characterized polyclonal antibodies to porcine choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), correlated with acetylcholinesterase (AChE) histochemistry. AChE‐positive neurons were more numerous than GhAT‐immunoreactive (ChAT‐IR) neurons. Regions with ChAT‐IR neurons generally
