Interactions between the neuromodulatory systems and the amygdala: exploratory survey using the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas. [PDF]

, 2013
Neuromodulatory systems originate in nuclei localized in the subcortical region of the brain and control fundamental behaviors by interacting with many areas of the central nervous system.

CaMKIIα interacts with M4 muscarinic receptors to control receptor and psychomotor function [PDF]

The EMBO Journal, 2010
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) are widely expressed in the mammalian brain and are essential for neuronal functions. These receptors are believed to be actively regulated by intracellular signals, although the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. In this study, we show that Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) binds

Striatal cholinergic interneurons generate beta and gamma oscillations in the corticostriatal circuit and produce motor deficits [PDF]

, 2016
Cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic (CBT) neural circuits are critical modulators of cognitive and motor function. When compromised, these circuits contribute to neurological and psychiatric disorders, such as Parkinson's disease (PD).

Characterization of Prejunctional Muscarinic Receptors: Effects on the Release of VIP and Functional Responses and Receptor Expression in the Ovine Submandibular Gland

Advances in Pharmacological Sciences, 2009
In the in vivo experiments on anaesthetized sheep, it was presently examined whether muscarinic receptor antagonists with diverse selectivity affect the release of VIP in response to electrical stimulation of the parasympathetic chorda tympanic nerve ...

Mechanisms of Pilocarpine-Induced Nitric Oxide and Prostaglandin Production in Porcine Ciliary Muscle. [PDF]

FASEB Bioadv
Pilocarpine activates M1 and M3 muscarinic receptors in porcine ciliary muscle, engaging calcium‐dependent phospholipase C (PLC), nitric oxide synthase (NOS), and cyclooxygenase (COX) pathways that increase prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis. Beyond nitric oxide (NO) modulation, PGE2 emerges as a key mediator linking muscarinic signaling to ciliary ...

Xanomeline displays concomitant orthosteric and allosteric binding modes at the M4 mAChR

Nature Communications, 2023
The M4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M4 mAChR) has emerged as a drug target of high therapeutic interest due to its expression in regions of the brain involved in the regulation of psychosis, cognition, and addiction.

M2 muscarinic receptor activation regulates schwann cell differentiation and myelin organization [PDF]

, 2014
Glial cells express acetylcholine receptors. In particular, rat Schwann cells express different muscarinic receptor subtypes, the most abundant of which is the M2 subtype. M2 receptor activation causes a reversible arrest of the cell cycle. This negative

Assessment of the molecular mechanisms of action of novel 4-phenylpyridine-2-one and 6-phenylpyrimidin-4-one allosteric modulators at the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors [PDF]

, 2018
Positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) that target the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptor (M1 mAChR) are potential treatments for cognitive deficits in conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia.

The Spinal Muscarinic M1 Receptors and GABAA Receptors Contribute to the McN-A-343–Induced Antinociceptive Effects During Thermal Stimulation of Mice

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
The present study was undertaken to clarify how spinal muscarinic receptors are involved in the antinociceptive effects in thermal stimulation. Intrathecal (i.t.) injection of the muscarinic agonist McN-A-343 inhibited the tail-flick response to noxious ...
