Differing time dependencies of object recognition memory impairments produced by nicotinic and muscarinic cholinergic antagonism in perirhinal cortex [PDF]

, 2011
The roles of muscarinic and nicotinic cholinergic receptors in perirhinal cortex in object recognition memory were compared. Rats' discrimination of a novel object preference test (NOP) test was measured after either systemic or local infusion into the ...

Calcium Mobilization by Activation of M3/M5 Muscarinic Receptors in the Human Retinoblastoma

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2007
Activation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) is one of the most important signal transduction pathways in the human body. In this study, we investigated the role of mAChR activation in relation to its subtypes in human retinoblastoma cell ...

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.

Isolation and Sequencing of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Genes from Fishes [PDF]

, 2004
In fish, adaptation to changes in light intensities is achieved in part by pigment granule movements within the retinal pigment epithelium. Based on studies using the cholinergic agonist carbachol it has been suggested that acetylcholine may play a role ...

The M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtype is important for retinal neuron survival in aging mice

Scientific Reports, 2019
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors have been implicated as potential neuroprotective targets for glaucoma. We tested the hypothesis that the lack of a single muscarinic receptor subtype leads to age-dependent neuron reduction in the retinal ganglion cell

M1 muscarinic receptor activation decreases alcohol consumption via a reduction in consummatory behavior

Pharmacology Research & Perspectives, 2022
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) have been shown to mediate alcohol consumption and seeking. Both M4 and M5 mAChRs have been highlighted as potential novel treatment targets for alcohol use disorders (AUD).

Purinergic and muscarinic modulation of the cell cycle and calcium signaling in the chick retinal ventricular zone [PDF]

, 2002
Spontaneous calcium transients occur in the ventricular zone of the chick retina and result from the endogenous release of neurotransmitters in the absence of action potentials.

Acetylcholine receptors (muscarinic) in GtoPdb v.2021.2 [PDF]

, 2021
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) (nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors [50]) are activated by the endogenous agonist acetylcholine.
