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.

Ciliomotor circuitry underlying whole-body coordination of ciliary activity in the Platynereis larva
eLife, 2017 Ciliated surfaces harbouring synchronously beating cilia can generate fluid flow or drive locomotion. In ciliary swimmers, ciliary beating, arrests, and changes in beat frequency are often coordinated across extended or discontinuous surfaces.

Neurotransmitter regulation of neural development: acetylcholine and nicotinic receptors
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2002 Several neurotransmitter systems have been related to developmental processes during the past decade. In this review, we discuss the evidence that the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors could have an additional function during development that may be ...
