Dopamine Signaling in Dorsal Versus Ventral Striatum: The Dynamic Role of Cholinergic Interneurons [PDF]
Mesostriatal dopaminergic neurons and striatal cholinergic interneurons participate in signaling the motivational signifcance of environmental stimuli and regulate striatal plasticity. Dopamine (DA) and acetylcholine (ACh) have potent interactions within

Spirocyclic Diamine Scaffolds for Medicinal Chemistry
Here we enumerated 391 spirocyclic diamine drug scaffolds with ring sizes four to eight and found that most of them are unknown. We prepared four novel such spirocycles and discovered a micromolar inhibitor of the M4 muscarinic receptor. ABSTRACT Medicinal chemistry requires the exploration of structurally diverse compound families to expand the ...

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.

Muscarinic cannabinoid suppression of excitation, a novel form of coincidence detection
Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the chief psychoactive ingredient of cannabis, acts in the brain primarily via cannabinoid CB1 receptors. These receptors are implicated in several forms of synaptic plasticity – depolarization-induced suppression of ...

Accumbal Cholinergic Interneurons Differentially Influence Motivation Related to Satiety Signaling [PDF]
Satiety, rather than all or none, can instead be viewed as a cumulative decrease in the drive to eat that develops over the course of a meal. The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is known to play a critical role in this type of value reappraisal, but the ...

Modulation of c-Jun NH2-Terminal (JNK) by Cholinergic Autoantibodies from Patients with Sjögren’s Syndrome [PDF]
Background: We wanted to determine (via an immunopharmacological approach) whether the c-Jun NH2 terminal kinase (JNK) cascade is phosphorylated in the submandibular gland by carbachol and cholinergic autoantibodies (IgG) present in the sera of patients ...
