Forebrain Cholinergic Signaling: Wired and Phasic, Not Tonic, and Causing Behavior

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 2019
Conceptualizations of cholinergic signaling as primarily spatially diffuse and slow-acting are based largely on measures of extracellular brain ACh levels that require several minutes to generate a single data point.

Effects of selctive lesions of the nucleus basalis magnocellularis on working memory in rats. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM) of the rat brain is analogous to the nucleus basalis of Meynert found in humans. Alzheimer's disease patients have working memory impairments, which may be attributable to damage to the basal nucleus of Meynert ...

Nuclear parcellation of pontine catecholaminergic and cholinergic neurons in gray parrots and pied crow brains

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Immunohistochemical staining for tyrosine hydroxylase reveals the neurons forming the locus coeruleus complex in the pontine region of the brain of the Congo gray parrot. The appearance and parcellation of the locus coeruleus complex in birds shows many similarities, but also differences to that observed in mammals.

Noradrenergic and cholinergic innervation of the normal human heart and changes associated with cardiomyopathy

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Autonomic nerves are crucial in cardiac function and pathology. However, data on the distribution of cholinergic and noradrenergic nerves in normal and pathologic human hearts is lacking. Nonfailing donor hearts were pressure‐perfusion fixed, imaged, and dissected. Left ventricular cardiomyopathy samples were also obtained.

Systematic review of the pharmacological properties of oligodendrocyte lineage

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016
OOligodendrogenesis and oligodendrocyte precursor maturation are essential processes during the course of central nervous system development, and lead to the myelination of axons.

Adaptive short‐term associative conditioning in the pancreatic β‐cell

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2020
This study associates cholinergic stimulation of the pancreatic β‐cell electrical activity with a short‐term memory phenomenon. Glucose pulses applied to a basal glucose concentration induce depolarizing waves which are used to estimate the evolution of ...

The Mesoscopic Connectome of the Cholinergic Pontomesencephalic Tegmentum

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2022
The pontomesencephalic tegmentum, comprising the pedunculopontine nucleus and laterodorsal tegmental nucleus, is involved in various functions via complex connections; however, the organizational structure of these circuits in the whole brain is not ...

Physiology and immunology of the cholinergic antiinflammatory pathway.

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Investigation, 2007
Cytokine production by the immune system contributes importantly to both health and disease. The nervous system, via an inflammatory reflex of the vagus nerve, can inhibit cytokine release and thereby prevent tissue injury and death.

Absence of Functional Autoantibodies Targeting Angiotensin II Receptor Type 1 and Endothelin‐1 Type A Receptor in Circulation and Purified IgG From Patients With Systemic Sclerosis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare but severe autoimmune disease characterized by immune dysregulation, fibrosis, and vasculopathy. Although previous studies have highlighted the presence of functional autoantibodies targeting the angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1) and endothelin‐1 type A receptor (ETAR), leading to autoantibody‐mediated ...
