A Dopamine-Acetylcholine Cascade: Simulating Learned and Lesion-Induced Behavior of Striatal Cholinergic Interneurons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The "teaching signal" that modulates reinforcement learning at cortico-striatal synapses may be a sequence composed of an adaptively scaled DA burst, a brief ACh burst, and a scaled ACh pause.

Cholinergic cells in the nucleus basalis of mice express the N-methyl-D-aspartate-receptor subunit NR2C and its replacement by the NR2B subunit enhances frontal and amygdaloid acetylcholine levels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
It is known that glutamatergic and cholinergic systems interact functionally at the level of the cholinergic basal forebrain. The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA-R) is a multiprotein complex composed of NR1, NR2 and/or NR3 subunits.

Dystonia: sparse synapses for D2 receptors in striatum of a DYT1 knock-out mouse model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Dystonia pathophysiology has been partly linked to downregulation and dysfunction of dopamine D2 receptors in striatum. We aimed to investigate the possible morpho-structural correlates of D2 receptor downregulation in the striatum of a DYT1 Tor1a mouse ...

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.

Does Cholinergic Stimulation Affect the P2X7 Receptor-Mediated Dye Uptake in Mast Cells and Macrophages?

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020
Background: Extracellular ATP is a powerful trigger of neuroinflammation by activating immune cells via P2X7 receptors. Acetylcholine and nicotinic agonists inhibit ATP-triggered proinflammatory cytokines via the so-called “cholinergic anti-inflammatory ...

Effect of gallamine on cholinergic receptors [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Anaesthetists’ Society Journal, 1970
Gallamine triethiodide causes tachycardia thought to be due to a specific vagolytic action. Recently, Brown and Crout have shown that gallamine may cause increased inotropic and chronotropic activity due to the release of catecholamines from cardiac sympathetic nerves.

Identification of atropine-and P2X1 receptor antagonist-reistant, neurogenic contractions of the urinary bladder [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Acetylcholine and ATP are excitatory cotransmitters in parasympathetic nerves. We used P2X1 receptor antagonists to further characterize the purinergic component of neurotransmission in isolated detrusor muscle of guinea pig urinary bladder.

New strategic insights into managing fungal biofilms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Fungal infections have dramatically increased in the last decades in parallel with an increase of populations with impaired immunity, resulting from medical conditions such as cancer, transplantation or other chronic diseases.

A sex-specific effect of M4 muscarinic cholinergic autoreceptor deletion on locomotor stimulation by cocaine and scopolamine

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
ObjectiveAcetylcholine modulates the activity of the direct and indirect pathways within the striatum through interaction with muscarinic M4 and M1 receptors.

Young Human Cholinergic Neurons Respond to Physiological Regulators and Improve Cognitive Symptoms in an Animal Model of Alzheimer’s Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2017
The degeneration of cholinergic neurons of the nucleus basalis of Meynert (NBM) in the basal forebrain (BF) is associated to the cognitive decline of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients. To date no resolutive therapies exist. Cell-based replacement therapy
