Activation of Muscarinic M1 Acetylcholine Receptors Induces Long-Term Potentiation in the Hippocampus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Muscarinic M1 acetylcholine receptors (M1Rs) are highly expressed in the hippocampus, and their inhibition or ablation disrupts the encoding of spatial memory.

Relationship Between Gut Microbiota and Cancer Neuro‐Immunity

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
Tumour cells influence neural activity and microbiota homeostasis through cytokines and immune modulation. Meanwhile, gut microbiota regulates neural function through metabolic products, affects immune responses via neurotransmitters, feedback regulates neural activity and influences tumour microenvironment.

Alternative Pathways of Acetylcholine Release in the Colon: Role of High‐Affinity Choline Transporters

open access: yesNeurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 3, March 2026.
Mechanisms of Acetylcholine release, including typical and atypical release under neuronal blockade. Left panel illustrates the classical (quantal) cholinergic transmission and the right panel the mechanism described in the present study. High‐Affinity Choline Transporter (HCT), Acetylcholine (ACh), Acetylcholinesterase (ACE), and Tetrodotoxin (TTX ...

Swimming against the tide: investigations of the C-Bouton synapse

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2014
C-boutons are important cholinergic modulatory loci for state-dependent alterations in motoneuron firing rate. Type 2 muscarinic acetylcholine (m2) receptors are concentrated postsynaptic to C-boutons, and m2 receptor activation increases motoneuron ...

Acetylcholine Release Inhibits Distinct Excitatory Inputs Onto Hippocampal CA1 Pyramidal Neurons via Different Cellular and Network Mechanisms

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
In hippocampal CA1, muscarinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptor (mAChR) activation via exogenous application of cholinergic agonists has been shown to presynaptically inhibit Schaffer collateral (SC) glutamatergic inputs in stratum radiatum (SR), and ...

A Role for the Kolliker-Fuse Nucleus in Cholinergic Modulation of Breathing at Night During Wakefulness and NREM Sleep [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
For many years, acetylcholine has been known to contribute to the control of breathing and sleep. To probe further the contributions of cholinergic rostral pontine systems in control of breathing, we designed this study to test the hypothesis that ...

Modulation of lower urinary tract smooth muscle contraction and relaxation by the urothelium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The epithelial inner layer of the lower urinary tract, i.e., the urothelium, and other parts of the mucosa are not just a passive barrier but play an active role in the sensing of stretching, neurotransmitters, paracrine mediators, hormones, and growth ...

Expression and function of G-protein-coupled receptorsin the male reproductive tract [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This review focuses on the expression and function of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs), α1-adrenoceptors and relaxin receptors in the male reproductive tract.

Binding and functional characterisation of allosteric agonists at M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2008
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) contain at least one allosteric site that is topographically distinct from the acetylcholine (ACh)‐binding orthosteric site. Although numerous studies have investigated the structural basis of allosteric modulation at these receptors, far less is known about allosteric ligands that ...

Gut microbial bile acid metabolite skews macrophage polarization and contributes to high-fat diet-induced colonic inflammation

open access: yesGut Microbes, 2020
High-fat diet (HFD) leads to systemic low-grade inflammation, which has been involved in the pathogenesis of diverse metabolic and inflammatory diseases.
