Early anatomical studies have employed acetylcholinesterase (AChE) histochemistry. However, AChE activity is disproportionally high in the cerebellum (reviewed in Silver, 1974), and its widespread distribution in non-cholinergic cells and fiber systems precludes its use as a marker for cholinergic neurons.
