Acetylcholine is difficult to detect in brain tissue sample because of enzymes present, which quickly degrade acetylcholine even after sacrifice. While technically possible, the only known method to get accurate measurements in tissue sample is by microwave radiation in live animals. https://www.sciencedirect.com/ science/article/abs/pii/ 0006899372907202
Thus, we cannot recommend acetylcholine detection in tissue samples. Instead, we recommend microdialysis for detection of acetylcholine.
