Dopaminergic and cholinergic modulation of the amygdala is altered in female mice with oestrogen receptor β deprivation

Scientific Reports, 2023
The amygdala is modulated by dopaminergic and cholinergic neurotransmission, and this modulation is altered in mood disorders. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the presence/absence of quantitative alterations in the expression of main ...

Acetylcholine release and inhibitory interneuron activity in hippocampal CA1

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2014
Acetylcholine release in the central nervous system (CNS) has an important role in attention, recall and memory formation. One region influenced by acetylcholine is the hippocampus, which receives inputs from the medial septum and diagonal band of Broca ...

Acetylcholine receptor based chemogenetics engineered for neuronal inhibition and seizure control assessed in mice

Nature Communications
Epilepsy is a prevalent disorder involving neuronal network hyperexcitability, yet existing therapeutic strategies often fail to provide optimal patient outcomes. Chemogenetic approaches, where exogenous receptors are expressed in defined brain areas and

Erratum to: The crystal structure of Ac-AChBP in complex with α-conotoxin LvIA reveals the mechanism of its selectivity towards different nAChR subtypes

Protein & Cell, 2017
In the original publication of the article the keywords are incorrectly online published. The correct keywords should read as α-Conotoxin; Nicotinc acetylcholine receptor; Acetylcholine binding protein; X-ray crystallography”.

Cholinergic receptor alterations in the cerebral cortex of spinal cord injured rat

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2017
Many areas of the cerebral cortex process sensory information or coordinate motor output necessary for control of movement. Disturbances in cortical cholinergic system can affect locomotor coordination.

A case report of nivolumab-induced myasthenia gravis and myositis in a metastatic renal cell carcinoma patient

Urology Case Reports, 2020
We present a 78-year-old male with renal cell carcinoma who developed myasthenia gravis complicated by myositis after nivolumab administration, which was verified by the presence of antibodies against the acetylcholine receptor.

Neonicotinoids disrupt memory, circadian behaviour and sleep

Scientific Reports, 2021
Globally, neonicotinoids are the most used insecticides, despite their well-documented sub-lethal effects on beneficial insects. Neonicotinoids are nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonists.

Effects of Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators on Plasma Membrane Estrogen Receptors and Catecholamine Synthesis and Secretion in Cultured Bovine Adrenal Medullary Cells

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2014
.: We previously reported the occurrence and function of plasma membrane estrogen receptors in cultured bovine adrenal medullary cells. Here we report the effects of raloxifene and tamoxifen, selective estrogen receptor modulators, on plasma membrane ...

Studies on Purified Eel Acetylcholine Receptor and Anti-Acetylcholine Receptor Antibody [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1973
Rabbit antiserum against purified Electrophorus electricus acetylcholine receptor is studied using an immunoprecipitin assay to measure either antibody titer or concentration of toxin-binding sites in solubilized receptor preparations. This antiserum, unlike control serum, blocks the electrophysiological response of

"Warming yang and invigorating qi" acupuncture alters acetylcholine receptor expression in the neuromuscular junction of rats with experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis

Neural Regeneration Research, 2016
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder in which antibodies have been shown to form against the nicotinic acetylcholine nicotinic postsynaptic receptors located at the neuromuscular junction.
