Acetylcholine distribution in the spinal cord of the rat.

Spinal cord of male albino rats is cut in four parts: the cervical enlargement (C2-C8) the thoracic cord (T1-T10) the lumbar enlargement (T11-L3) and the sacral extremity (L4-S4). A considerable increase in the acetylcholine levels from the cervical (0,80 g/g +/- 0,15 st.err.) to the sacral section (2,67 g/g +/- 0,48 st.err.) has been observed. It is concluded that the increase of acetylcholine levels in the lower part of spinal cord is the consequence of the relative increase of gray matter at this level.

The "grasping reflex" in rats with altered thyroid activity.

The "grasping reflex" test was performed in adult rats with altered thyroid function. Any modification of the thyroid activity (hyper or hypothyroidism) caused a prolongation of the grasping time. Our data indicate that the condition of hypo or hyperthyroidism induces behavioural modifications in the adult rats.
