Indirect Striatal Projection Neurons Drive a D2 Receptor‐Dependent Pathway to Dyskinesia and Dystonia

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
D2 receptor ablation in indirect‐pathway striatal neurons reduces or abolishes dyskinetic and dystonic behaviors induced by L‐DOPA or D2 receptor agonists, respectively. Contralateral turning is reduced, while forward locomotion is increased. These effects are associated with modulation of neuronal activity in dorsal striatum and external globus ...

Immediate early gene expression in the mesopontine tegmentum and midbrain after acute or chronic nicotine administration

open access: yes, 2008
The reinforcing properties of nicotine depend partly on cholinergic projections from the pedunculopontine tegmental (PPTg) and laterodorsal tegmental (LDTg) nuclei to midbrain dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and substantia nigra pars

Cholinergic effects on cat retinain vitro: Changes in rod- and cone-drivenb-wave and optic nerve response

open access: yes, 1996
To identify cholinergically mediated components in the optic nerve response (ORN) we studied effects of cholinergic agonists and antagonists in the arterially perfused cat eye.

Review of nutrition management of pediatric intestinal pseudo‐obstruction

open access: yesNutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic intestinal pseudo‐obstruction (CIPO) is a rare, heterogeneous, and debilitating disorder characterized by profound intestinal dysmotility and severe nutrition challenges. Its presentation resembles that of mechanical bowel obstruction, but CIPO occurs in the absence of luminal obstruction.

Linking actions to outcomes : the role of the posterior pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus in instrumental learning

open access: yes, 2012
Located in the mesopontine tegmentum, the pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPTg) is comprised principally of glutamatergic, cholinergic and GABAergic neurons.

Neuroprotective effects of ursodeoxycholic acid in Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease

open access: yesNeuroprotection, EarlyView.
In Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), various shared pathological mechanisms exist. UDCA has been shown to exert neuroprotective effects in preclinical and clinical studies. Such effects include the mitigation of neuroinflammation as well as rescue effects on mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, impaired autophagy, and ...

Participation of cholinergic and adrenergic mechanisms in gastric reactions to exogenous serotonin infusion

open access: yesRUDN Journal of Medicine, 2011
This study is dedicated to investigation of serotoninergic structures that activate motility of the stomach. Experiments were performed on 94 Wistar rats under general anesthesia, mechanical ventilation, bilateral vagotomy and transection of both ...

Applicability of Anticholinergic Risk Scale in hospitalized elderly persons

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Geriatria e Gerontologia, 2017
Objective: to define the applicability of the Anticholinergic Risk Scale (ARS) as a risk indicator of delirium in hospitalized elderly persons. Method: the medical records of elderly patients hospitalized in the medical wards of a teaching hospital were

Precision environmental medicine: Integrated multi‐exposure transcriptomics for shared molecular networks in COPD pathogenesis in response to environmental exposure

open access: yesPrecision Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
This integrated systems biology study of 2847 exposure‐related genes identifies a conserved 647‐gene core and CYP1B1 hub across cigarette smoke, ozone, and PM2.5. Three key pathways converge, enabling computational repurposing of 15 drug candidates (e.g., NRF2 activators) for environmentally induced COPD.

Cholinergic neurons in the dorsomedial hypothalamus regulate mouse brown adipose tissue metabolism

open access: yesMolecular Metabolism, 2015
Objective: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis is critical in maintaining body temperature. The dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) integrates cutaneous thermosensory signals and regulates adaptive thermogenesis.
