Systemic injection of the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, di-isopropylfluorophosphate, in rats causes a marked increase in glucose use in the superficial layers of the superior colliculus. This activation of the superior colliculus is largely a retinal effect. Furthermore, since this response can be blocked by intraocular as well as systemic injections of mecamylamine, it is postulated that retinal nicotinic receptors are involved.
