Optogenetic stimulation of cholinergic fibers for the modulation of insulin and glycemia. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2021
Abstract Previous studies have demonstrated stimulation of endocrine pancreas function by vagal nerve electrical stimulation. While this increases insulin secretion, expected concomitant reductions in circulating glucose do not occur. A complicating factor is the non-specific nature of electrical nerve stimulation.

Systematic Regional Variations in the Loss of Cortical Cholinergic Fibers in Alzheimer's Disease [PDF]

Cerebral Cortex, 1996
The loss of cortical cholinergic fibers in Alzheimer's disease was investigated using choline acetyltransferase immunohistochemistry and acetylcholinesterase histochemistry. Within both the normal and Alzheimer's cerebral cortex, the two methods revealed an identical pattern of fiber staining.

Tractography of the external capsule and cognition: A diffusion MRI study of cholinergic fibers

Experimental Gerontology, 2020
White matter changes (WMC) in the cholinergic tracts contribute to executive dysfunction in the context of cognitive aging. WMC in the external capsule have been associated with executive dysfunction. The objectives of this study were to: 1) Characterize the lateral cholinergic tracts (LCT) and the superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF).

New insight on the enteric cholinergic innervation of the pig colon by central and peripheral nervous systems: reduction by repeated loperamide administration

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
IntroductionThe central and peripheral nervous systems provide cholinergic innervation in the colon. The ability to assess their neuroanatomical distinctions is still a challenge.

Cholinergic and adrenergic innervation of the pancreas in chinchilla (Chinchilla Laniger Molina)

Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2020
INTRODUCTION: Cholinergic and adrenergic innervation of the pancreas in chinchilla (Chinchilla Laniger Molina) was examined in this study. The pancreas is both an exocrine and endocrine gland with autonomic and sensory innervation presented by the ...

Is Ross Syndrome a New Type of Synucleinopathy? A Brief Research Report

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
Ross syndrome (RS) is a rare peripheral autonomic system disorder characterized by tonic pupil, hyporeflexia, and segmental anhidrosis. Neuropathological studies show that RS results from the selective cholinergic nerve degeneration.

Confocal analysis of cholinergic and dopaminergic inputs onto pyramidal cells in the prefrontal cortex of rodents

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2010
Cholinergic and dopaminergic projections to the rat medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) are both involved in cognitive functions including attention. These neuronal systems modulate mPFC neuronal activity mainly through diffuse transmission.

Cellular birthdate predicts laminar and regional cholinergic projection topography in the forebrain

eLife, 2020
The basal forebrain cholinergic system projects broadly throughout the cortex and constitutes a critical source of neuromodulation for arousal and attention. Traditionally, this system was thought to function diffusely.
