Nucleus of the diagonal band

Protein identified by IHC in the ventral pallidum, cerebral cortex, the amygdaloid area, the nucleus of the diagonal band, others of rat brain (Shinoda et al., 1989). Less activity in human fetal brain than other tissues assayed by pH] release from 1-androstenedione into water (Doody and Carr, 1989). 

Major connections of the main olfactory system. Axons of MOB mitral/tufted cells (circles in the EPL and MCL, respectively) project as the LOT to synapse in a number of structures collectively referred to as primary olfactory cortex (POC). Centrifugal inputs to MOB include feedback projections from POC as well as inputs from subcortical forebrain and brainstem neuromodulatory cell groups. Abbreviations AON, anterior olfactory nucleus DP, dorsal peduncular cortex Ent, entorhinal cortex IG-AHC, indusium griseum-anterior hippocampal continuation LC, locus coeruleus NDB, nucleus of the diagonal band PeCo, periamygdaloid cortex PC, piriform cortex RN, raphe nuclei (dorsal and median raphe) TT, taenia tecta Tu, olfactory tubercle...
