Caveolin-3 differentially orchestrates cholinergic and serotonergic constriction of murine airways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The mechanisms of controlling airway smooth muscle (ASM) tone are of utmost clinical importance as inappropriate constriction is a hallmark in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Distribution of Acetylcholinesterase Positive Neurons in the Oviduct of Laying Hen [PDF]

open access: yesPakistan Veterinary Journal, 2013
The acetylcholinesterase histochemistry is used to identify the cholinergic nerves in tissue sections. Little is known on localization of cholinergic nerves in the oviduct of laying hens.

Restored presynaptic synaptophysin and cholinergic inputs contribute to the protective effects of physical running on spatial memory in aged mice

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2019
The effects of prolonged physical training on memory performance and underlying presynaptic mechanisms were investigated in old C57BL/6 mice. Training via voluntary running wheels was initiated at 16 months of age and continued for 5 months (1 h per day,

Toll-Like Receptor 4 Modulates Small Intestine Neuromuscular Function through Nitrergic and Purinergic Pathways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Objective: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a pivotal role in the homeostatic microflora-host crosstalk. TLR4-mediated modulation of both motility and enteric neuronal survival has been reported mainly for colon with limited information on the role of ...

Role of cholinergic fibers in a center essential to animal hypnosis

open access: yesBrain Research Bulletin, 1991
We previously found that the center from which animal hypnosis is controlled in the rabbit is located in the area that includes the brachium conjunctivum and locus coeruleus (LC-BC) of the brainstem. Microinjection was used to investigate functions of cholinergic fibers in this area in relation to animal hypnosis.

Independent and additive contribution of white matter hyperintensities and Alzheimer’s disease pathology to basal forebrain cholinergic system degeneration

open access: yesNeuroImage: Clinical, 2023
Objectives: Degeneration of the cholinergic basal forebrain nuclei (CBFN) system has been studied extensively in Alzheimer's disease (AD). White matter hyperintensities are a hallmark of aging as well as a common co-morbidity of AD, but their ...

Paying attention to smell: Cholinergic signaling in the olfactory bulb.

open access: yesFrontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2014
The tractable, layered architecture of the olfactory bulb (OB), and its function as a relay between odor input and higher cortical processing, makes it an attractive model to study how sensory information is processed at a synaptic and circuit level. The

Cholinergic Signaling Attenuates Pro-Inflammatory Interleukin-8 Response in Colonic Epithelial Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Infants affected by Hirschsprung disease (HSCR), a neurodevelopmental congenital disorder, lack ganglia of the intrinsic enteric nervous system (aganglionosis) in a variable length of the colon, and are prone to developing severe Hirschsprung-associated ...

The binding of botulinum neurotoxins to different peripheral neurons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Botulinum neurotoxins are the most potent toxins known. The double receptor binding modality represents one of the most significant properties of botulinum neurotoxins and largely accounts for their incredible potency and lethality.

Cholinergic neurons in the dorsomedial hypothalamus regulate food intake

open access: yesMolecular Metabolism, 2017
Objective: Central cholinergic neural circuits play a role in the regulation of feeding behavior. The dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) is considered the appetite-stimulating center and contains cholinergic neurons.
