The role of hippocampal NMDA receptors in long-term emotional responses following muscarinic receptor activation [PDF]
Extensive evidence indicates the influence of the cholinergic system on emotional processing. Previous findings provided new insights into the underlying mechanisms of long-term anxiety, showing that rats injected with a single systemic dose of ...

Abstract Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are diagnosed in 1/100 children worldwide, based on two core symptoms: deficits in social interaction and communication, and stereotyped behaviours. G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of cell‐surface receptors that transduce extracellular signals to convergent intracellular signalling ...

G protein‐coupled receptor‐mediated autophagy in health and disease
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest and most diverse superfamily of mammalian transmembrane proteins. These receptors are involved in a wide range of physiological functions and are targets for more than a third of available drugs in the market. Autophagy is a cellular process involved in degrading damaged proteins and organelles

In early-onset generalized torsion dystonia, caused by a GAG deletion in TOR1A (DYT1), enhanced striatal cholinergic activity has been suggested to be critically involved. Previous studies have shown increased acetylcholine levels in the striatum of DYT1

Spatial intensity distribution analysis: studies of G Protein-coupled receptor oligomerization [PDF]
Spatial intensity distribution analysis (SpIDA) is a recently developed approach for determining quaternary structure information on fluorophore-labelled proteins of interest in situ. It can be applied to live or fixed cells and native tissue.

Nuclear calcium signaling evoked by cholinergic stimulation in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons [PDF]
The cholinergic system is thought to play an important role in hippocampal-dependent learning and memory. However, the mechanism of action of the cholinergic system in these actions in not well understood.

Five muscarinic acetylcholine (mACh) receptor subtypes are divided into two classes: the M1 class (M1, M3, and M5) and the M2 class (M2 and M4). The former is coupled to Gq proteins, while the latter is coupled to Gi/o proteins.

The M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist xanomeline suppresses lethal inflammation
We have recently indicated a role for brain muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in controlling systemic inflammatory responses (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 2006, 5219; Brain Behav Immun, Epub). Here we studied whether xanomeline, a centrally‐acting M1 muscarinic receptor agonist, suppresses the systemic cytokine response and improves survival during lethal ...
