This is a type of neurotransmitterSystem that transfers around acetylcholine. This system is important for transmitting sygnals for attention, learning, memory, arousal, and muscle movement.
LDT and PPN
The Laterodorsal Tegmental Nucleus and the Pedynculopontine Nucleus release acetylcholine
- Neurons release acetylcholine from the pons and midbrain
- actylecholine is transfered up to the amygdala thalamus brainstem and cerebellum
Basal Forebrain
- Neurons release acetylcholine here and they project to the cortex and limbic system
