Lipids represent the most abundant molecular type in the brain, with a fat content of∼ 60%
of the dry brain weight in humans. Despite this fact, little attention has been paid to …

Since the early'60s, injections of a broad-spectrum muscarinic cholinergic agonist,
carbachol, into the medial pontine reticular formation (mPRF) of cats have been extensively …
