Is There a Canonical Cortical Circuit for the Cholinergic System? Anatomical Differences Across Common Model Systems

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2018
Acetylcholine (ACh) is believed to act as a neuromodulator in cortical circuits that support cognition, specifically in processes including learning, memory consolidation, vigilance, arousal and attention. The cholinergic modulation of cortical processes

Cholinergic cells in the nucleus basalis of mice express the N-methyl-D-aspartate-receptor subunit NR2C and its replacement by the NR2B subunit enhances frontal and amygdaloid acetylcholine levels [PDF]

, 2006
It is known that glutamatergic and cholinergic systems interact functionally at the level of the cholinergic basal forebrain. The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA-R) is a multiprotein complex composed of NR1, NR2 and/or NR3 subunits.

Polyelectrolyte Design Principles for Electrophoretic Drug Delivery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Structure–property–function mapping of polyelectrolytes reveals how composition and nanoscale order control on‐demand electrophoretic drug transport. Charge density quantified under implant‐relevant conditions shows that encapsulation limits swelling, enabling high effective charge density.

Sex‐Specific Genetic Variants are Associated With Coronary Endothelial Dysfunction

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundEndothelial dysfunction is an early stage of atherosclerosis. Single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with vascular dysfunction, cardiac events, and coronary artery remodeling.

Simultaneous Electrophysiology and Fiber Photometry in Freely Behaving Mice

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
In vivo electrophysiology is the gold standard technique used to investigate sub-second neural dynamics in freely behaving animals. However, monitoring cell-type-specific population activity is not a trivial task.

Alzheimer's Disease Risk Factor APOE4 Exerts Dimorphic Effects on Female Bone

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In aging bone, osteocytes accumulate neurodegenerative risk factor Apolipoprotein E (APOE). A humanized version of the Alzheimer's disease risk allele APOE4 altered the mouse bone transcriptome and proteome, with effects in female bone surpassing the brain, including bone fragility due to suppressed osteocytic maintenance of bone quality, identifying ...

Pauses in cholinergic interneuron firing exert an inhibitory control on striatal output in vivo

eLife, 2018
The cholinergic interneurons (CINs) of the striatum are crucial for normal motor and behavioral functions of the basal ganglia. Striatal CINs exhibit tonic firing punctuated by distinct pauses.
