What is Role of the medial septum diagonal band of Broca cholinergic neurons in oestrogen-induced spine synapse formation on hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells of female rats about?
## Abstract Oestrogen is known to influence pyramidal cell spine synapse plasticity in the CA1 subfield of the hippocampus. Apart from direct oestrogen action on the hippocampus, oestrogen effects mediated by subcortical structures are known to be important. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the medial septum diagonal band of Broca (MSDB) takes part in mediating oestrogen effects to the hippocampus. Special attention was given to the role of cholinergic MSDB neurons that project to the hippocampus, as a rather large population of them contains oestrogen receptors and, consequently, may be sensitive to oestrogen signals. Adult female rats were ovariectomized. Oestradiol‐ and cholesterol‐filled cannulae (control) were implanted into the MSDB. To selectively eliminate the cholinergic population of MSDB neurons of oestrogen‐treated animals, a group of rats was injected with 192 IgG‐saporin (SAP) into the lateral ventricle 1 week before the cannula implant. Immunostaining with anti‐choline acetyltransferase and parvalbumin (PA) showed that cholinergic but not PA‐containing GABAergic neurons were substantially reduced in the MSDB of SAP rats.
