The distribution of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) has been investigated in a series of sections passing through the medulla oblongata and pons of the squirrel brain. A comparison of the two enzymes has given an interesting picture of their selective localization in the different nuclei. Marked AChE activity has been observed in the cranial nerve nuclei. BChE activity in various nuclei of the medulla oblongata and pons is variable and occurs diffusely between the cells. Possible reasons pertaining to marked variation in AChE and BChE contents of various nuclei and fiber tracts have been discussed.
在一系列穿过松鼠脑延髓和脑桥的切片中，对乙酰胆碱酯酶（AChE）和丁酰胆碱酯酶（BChE）的分布进行了研究。对这两种酶的比较给出了它们在不同核团中选择性定位的有趣图景。在脑神经核中观察到明显的AChE活性。延髓和脑桥各核团中的BChE活性各不相同，且在细胞之间呈弥散分布。已讨论了与各核团和纤维束中AChE和BChE含量显著变化相关的可能原因。
