Acetylcholine and Delirium

Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders, 1999
The neurotransmitter acetylcholine has been implicated in animal and human studies of delirium. This chapter will briefly review the clinical studies focussing on measurement of serum levels of anticholinergic activity in delirious states. Three approaches have been taken.

Acetylcholine and memory

Trends in Neurosciences, 1993
Acetylcholine may set the dynamics of cortical networks to those appropriate for learning of new information, while decreased cholinergic modulation may set the appropriate dynamics for recall. In slice preparations of the olfactory cortex, acetylcholine selectively suppresses intrinsic but not afferent fiber synaptic transmission, while decreasing the

Molecular Recognition of the Neurotransmitter Acetylcholine by an Acetylcholine Binding Protein Reveals Determinants of Binding to Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Despite extensive studies on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) and homologues, details of acetylcholine binding are not completely resolved. Here, we report the crystal structure of acetylcholine bound to the receptor homologue acetylcholine ...

Structure of Acetylcholine

Nature, 1971
IN a recent letter, Chothia and Pauling1 comment on our paper dealing with the determinants of specificity at cholinergic synapses2. They correctly point out that we do not define the conformation of acetylcholine which is responsible for its action at nicotinic sites.

Conformation of Acetylcholine

Nature, 1965
THE development of the attenuated total reflexion (ATR) method1,2 for the examination of aqueous solutions in the infra-red region has made it possible to re-examine the problem of the conformation of acetylcholine (Ach) in aqueous and mammalian Ringer solution.

The Response to Acetylcholine

Scientific American, 1977
When a nerve makes a muscle cell contract, it gives the cell a tiny squirt of acetylcholine. Receptors on the cell respond by opening so that ions can travel through the cell membrane.

Acetylcholine receptors

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1975
Abstract a-Bungarotoxin is one of a class of proteins, isolated from snake venoms, which antagonize the action of acetylcholine at vertebrate neuromuscular junctions and ‘electroplaques' of electric fish. a-Bungarotoxin blocks acetylcholine action irreversibly and may be labelled with either 125I or 3H.

Acetylcholine in the retina

Neurochemistry International, 1980
Acetylcholine in the retina is synthesized and released by a sparse group of amacrine cells that symmetrically line both margins of the inner plexiform layer. The action of these neurons is at once very selective (they affect ganglion cells of some functional classes, but not others) and rather diffuse (the dependence of the acetylcholine-sensitive ...
