Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity and [3H] hemicholinium-3 ([3H] HCh-3) binding are reduced in cortex ipsilateral to ibotenic acid lesions in the 12-month postlesion rat following an initial recovery to normal levels by about 3 months postlesion.

Galanthamine concentrations up to 1 x 10 (-5) M did not affect choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity, [3H] hemicholinium-3 (HCh-3) binding to the choline carrier, [3H] quinuclidinylbenzilate (QNB) binding to muscarinic receptors, or [3H] acetylcholine binding to nicotinic receptors in cortical homogenates.
