An atlas of the distribution of cholinergic cell bodies, fibers, and terminals, as well as cholinoceptive cells, in the central nervous system of the cat (excluding the cerebellum) is presented from results obtained in immunohistochemical work on choline acetyltransferase. Cholinergic cell bodies are observed in more than forty areas, and cholinoceptive cells in sixty discrete areas of brain sections from the spinal cord to the olfactory bulb. The atlas is presented in seventy cross-sectional drawings of cat brain extending from the olfactory bulb to the upper cervical spinal cord.
