Physiological functions of the cholinergic system in immune cells

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2017
T and B cells, macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs) all express most of the components necessary for a functional cholinergic system. This includes choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), muscarinic and nicotinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptors (mAChRs and ...

Synergistic Enhancement: Whole Wheat Substrate Improves Memory in Mice by Optimizing Folate Metabolism and Systemic Antioxidant Capacity

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study rigorously assessed the impact of folic acid‐fortified whole wheat products on mitigating mild liver injury caused by prolonged excessive folic acid consumption, improving folic acid bioavailability, and enhancing spatial cognitive functions in mice over a 48‐day intervention period.

Avoiding anticholinergic burden in neuropsychiatric treatments comorbid with alcohol use disorder [PDF]

Dementia & Neuropsychologia
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) frequently co-occurs with neuropsychiatric conditions such as insomnia, anxiety, depression, and psychosis. The management of these comorbidities requires careful pharmacological consideration, particularly the avoidance of ...

Excitatory postsynaptic potentials in rat neocortical neurons in vitro. III. Effects of a quinoxalinedione non-NMDA receptor antagonist [PDF]

, 1990
1. Intracellular microelectrodes were used to obtain recordings from neurons in layer II/III of rat frontal cortex. A bipolar electrode positioned in layer IV of the neocortex was used to evoke postsynaptic potentials.

Synthesized flavone attenuates diabetes‐induced neurodegeneration through regulation of oxidative stress and metabolic‐neurodegenerative molecular pathways

Ibrain, EarlyView.
Neuroprotective efficacy of flavone (2‐phenyl‐4H‐chromen‐4‐one). The study aimed to explore the potential of a synthetic derivative (flavone) of a phytocompound, which is involved in neuroprotection activities. Experimental strategies included the characteristics of compound, in‐silico analysis, and in vivo assessments.

Spindle oscillations are generated in the dorsal thalamus and modulated by the thalamic reticular nucleus [PDF]

, 2008
Spindle waves occur during the early stage of slow wave sleep and are thought to arise in the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN), causing inhibitory postsynaptic potential spindle-like oscillations in the dorsal thalamus that are propagated to the cortex ...

Responses of pigeon vestibular hair cells to cholinergic agonists and antagonists [PDF]

Brain Research, 2011
Acetylcholine (ACh) is the major neurotransmitter released from vestibular efferent terminals onto hair cells and afferents. Previous studies indicate that the two classes of acetylcholine receptors, nicotinic (nAChRs) and muscarinic receptors (mAChRs), are expressed by vestibular hair cells (VHCs).

Cognition in menopausal women

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Cognitive health in postmenopausal women is significantly affected by hormonal shifts, especially the drop in estrogen levels. This review explores the intricate relationship between menopause and cognitive functions across six domains: perception, attention, memory, language, executive functioning, and motor skills.
