Abstract A growing body of research suggests that locus coeruleus‐norepinephrine (LC‐NE) system may function differently in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Understanding the dynamics of both tonic (resting pupil diameter) and phasic (pupil dilation response [PDR] and event‐related potential [ERP]) indices may provide meaningful ...

The Regulatory Effects of Acetyl-CoA Distribution in the Healthy and Diseased Brain
Brain neurons, to support their neurotransmitter functions, require a several times higher supply of glucose than non-excitable cells. Pyruvate, the end product of glycolysis, through pyruvate dehydrogenase complex reaction, is a principal source of ...

Acetylcholine and Acetylcholine Receptors in Taste Receptor Cells [PDF]
Neuroactive substances play important roles as transmitters and neuromodulators. Although many of these substances and/or their receptors are known to be present in taste receptor cells and nerve fibers innervating taste buds, physiological functions of these substances are not well understood (Nagai et al., 1996).

A fast genetically encoded fluorescent sensor for faithful in vivo acetylcholine detection in mice, fish, worms and flies [PDF]
Here we design and optimize a genetically encoded fluorescent indicator, iAChSnFR, for the ubiquitous neurotransmitter acetylcholine, based on a bacterial periplasmic binding protein.

Cholinergic neurotransmission throughout the neocortex and hippocampus regulates arousal, learning, and attention. However, owing to the poorly characterized timing and location of acetylcholine release, its detailed behavioral functions remain unclear ...

Acetylcholine regulation of GnRH neuronal activity: A circuit in the medial septum
In vertebrates, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-secreting neurons control fertility by regulating gonadotrophs in the anterior pituitary. While it is known that acetylcholine (ACh) influences GnRH secretion, whether the effect is direct or indirect,
