Potential revival of cholinesterase inhibitors as drugs in veterinary medicine
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023 The cholinergic system is involved in the regulation of all organ systems and has acetylcholine (ACh) as almost its only neurotransmitter. Any substance is called cholinergic if it can alter the action of acetylcholine. Cholinesterases (ChEs) are enzymes

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]
, 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.

Complete morphologies of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons in the mouse
eLife, 2014 The basal forebrain cholinergic system modulates neuronal excitability and vascular tone throughout the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. This system is severely affected in Alzheimer's disease (AD), and drug treatment to enhance cholinergic signaling is ...

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2021 Several cholinergic regions have been detected in the brainstem of mammals. In general, these regions are constant among different species, and the nuclear complement is maintained in animals belonging to the same order.

Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: The cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain (BF) provide virtually all of the brain’s cortical and amygdalar cholinergic input. They are particularly vulnerable to neuropathology in early Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and may trigger the emergence

Cooperative Glutamatergic and Cholinergic Mechanisms Generate Short-Term Modifications of Synaptic Effectiveness in Prepositus Hypoglossi Neurons [PDF]
, 2005 To maintain horizontal eye position on a visual target after a saccade, extraocular motoneurons need a persistent (tonic) neural activity, called "eye-position signal," generated by prepositus hypoglossi (PH) neurons.
