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.

Glial cells in the heart: Implications for their roles in health and disease

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic representation of cardiac autonomic ganglia within epicardial fat pads (posterior heart surface shown), containing vagal postganglionic neuron cell bodies, associated fibres, and glia. These ganglia receive cholinergic input from vagal preganglionic neurons and adrenergic input from sympathetic postganglionic neurons ...

Involvement of HCN Channel in Muscarinic Inhibitory Action on Tonic Firing of Dorsolateral Striatal Cholinergic Interneurons

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016
The striatum is the most prominent nucleus in the basal ganglia and plays an important role in motor movement regulation. The cholinergic interneurons (ChIs) in striatum are involved in the motion regulation by releasing acetylcholine (ACh) and ...

The Role of Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel 1.8 in the Effect of Atropine on Heart Rate: Evidence From a Retrospective Clinical Study and Mouse Model

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Atropine is commonly used to counter the effects of the parasympathetic neurotransmitter acetylcholine on heart rate in clinical practice, such as in the perioperative period; however, individual differences in the response to atropine are huge.

Deconvolution of complex G protein-coupled receptor signaling in live cells using dynamic mass redistribution measurements [PDF]

, 2010
Label-free biosensor technology based on dynamic mass redistribution (DMR) of cellular constituents promises to translate GPCR signaling into complex optical 'fingerprints' in real time in living cells.

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors M2 are upregulated in the atrioventricular nodal tract in horses with a high burden of second-degree atrioventricular block

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundSecond-degree atrioventricular (AV) block at rest is very common in horses. The underlying molecular mechanisms are unexplored, but commonly attributed to high vagal tone.AimTo assess whether AV block in horses is due to altered expression of ...

HL-1 cells express an inwardly rectifying K+ current activated via muscarinic receptors comparable to that in mouse atrial myocytes [PDF]

, 2010
An inwardly rectifying K^+ current is present in atrial cardiac myocytes that is activated by acetylcholine (I_{KACh}). Physiologically, activation of the current in the SA node is important in slowing the heart rate with increased parasympathetic tone ...

Fentanyl Disrupts Vagal Control of Airway Tone to Induce Transient Obstruction

Acta Physiologica, Volume 241, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Opioid‐induced respiratory depression (OIRD) is the primary cause of death in opioid overdose, resulting from both suppressed respiratory rhythm and increased airway and thoracic rigidity that compromise ventilation and resuscitation. While the effect(s) of opioids on central rhythm‐generating circuits are well documented, the mechanisms ...

Synaptopathy in the TDP‐43ΔNLS Mouse Model of Sporadic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 62, Issue 10, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Sporadic cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (sALS) represent the most common form of motor neuron disease. sALS is characterised by pathological cytoplasmic inclusions of TDP‐43, so‐called reactive astrocyte pathology and motor neuron degeneration.
