Acetylcholine and spinal locomotor networks: The insider
Physiological Reports, 2021 This article aims to review studies that have investigated the role of neurons that use the transmitter acetylcholine (ACh) in controlling the operation of locomotor neural networks within the spinal cord. This cholinergic system has the particularity of

Altered muscarinic and nicotinic receptor densities in cortical and subcortical brain regions in Parkinson's disease [PDF]
, 1993 Muscarinic and nicotinic cholinergic receptors and choline acetyltransferase activity were studied in postmortem brain tissue from patients with histopathologically confirmed Parkinson's disease and matched control subjects.

Development of fetal nicotine and muscarinic receptors in utero
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2007 The role of acetylcholine in the central and peripheral nervous systems is well established in adults. Cholinergic modulation of vascular functions and body fluid balance has been extensively studied.

Interactions between the neuromodulatory systems and the amygdala: exploratory survey using the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas. [PDF]
, 2013 Neuromodulatory systems originate in nuclei localized in the subcortical region of the brain and control fundamental behaviors by interacting with many areas of the central nervous system.

The involvement of cholinergic neurons in the spreading of tau pathology
Frontiers in Neurology, 2013 Long time ago, it was described the selective loss of cholinergic neurons during the development of Alzheimer disease. Recently, it has been suggested that tau protein may play a role in that loss of cholinergic neurons through a mechanism involving the ...
