This study shows that (a) the slopes of dose-response curves of bromoacetylcholine (BrACh) and acetylcoline (ACh) were the same; (b) the dose-response curves of BrACh to contract superfused chick biventer cervicis and frog rectus abdominis muscles were shifted to the right by d-tubocurarine in a parallel fashio; and (c) the responses of BrACh were not ...

ABSTRACT Severe refractory constipation can lead to fecal retention requiring hospitalization, nasogastric cleanout, or manual disimpaction, and in some cases, surgery. Neostigmine, a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, is commonly used for pseudo‐obstruction but rarely for refractory constipation. Here, we report a 21‐year‐old male with chronic

Selectively driving cholinergic fibers optically in the thalamic reticular nucleus promotes sleep
Cholinergic projections from the basal forebrain and brainstem are thought to play important roles in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and arousal. Using transgenic mice in which channelrhdopsin-2 is selectively expressed in cholinergic neurons, we show ...

Basal Forebrain Volume Predicts Disease Conversion in Prodromal Synucleinopathy
Abstract Background Isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is a prodromal stage of Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). The basal forebrain (BF), a key cholinergic structure, is a site of known pathology in later stages of Lewy body disorders.

This study demonstrated significant treatment efficacy and safety of incobotulinumtoxinA injection in Japanese patients with chronic sialorrhea caused by Parkinson's disease and other neurological conditions. Suppression of salivary secretion and improvement in drooling symptoms were also observed throughout 48 weeks.

GABA_{B} Receptors Regulate Chick Retinal Calcium Waves [PDF]
Correlated spiking activity and associated Ca²⁺ waves in the developing retina are important in determining the connectivity of the visual system. Here, we show that GABA, via GABA_{B} receptors, regulates the temporal characteristics of Ca²⁺ waves ...
