Abstract: Colchicine injections in the supracommissural septum of the rat caused degeneration of several neurons in the nucleus triangularis septi and the nucleus septo-fimbrialis. The lesions resulted in significant decreases of choline acetyltransferase in the habenula (–34%) and in the nucleus interpeduncularis (–36%), thus demonstrating the existence of a major cholinergic projection to these nuclei from the supracommissural septum. A large fall in choline acetyltransferase was also noticed in the dorsal hippocampus as a consequence of colchicine damage to the fimbria-fornix fibers crossing the injected area.
