The effects of muscarinic and nicotinic cholinergic receptor blockers (ATR atropine, MEC mecamylamine) on the rCBF response in the parietal cortex induced by stimulation of the NBM (0.5 ms, 50 Hz, for 10 s). Summarized responses of rCBF measured at maximum level and expressed as percentage increase from the prestimulus control rCBF (n = 6 or 8, shown in parentheses). Data depict blood flow changes measured by laser Doppler (n = 6) or laser speckle (n = 2) flowmetry. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01; significantly different from control response before injection of cholinergic receptor blockers by the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison test
