Cooperative Glutamatergic and Cholinergic Mechanisms Generate Short-Term Modifications of Synaptic Effectiveness in Prepositus Hypoglossi Neurons [PDF]
To maintain horizontal eye position on a visual target after a saccade, extraocular motoneurons need a persistent (tonic) neural activity, called "eye-position signal," generated by prepositus hypoglossi (PH) neurons.

Modulation of cholinergic synaptic transmission in an identified locust sensory pathway [PDF]
The monosynaptic connection between the locust forewing stretch receptor (fSR) and the first basalar motoneuron (BAl) is part of a sensory pathway involved in flight.

Glioblastoma is a malignant human brain tumor of the astrocytic type. The activation of M2 muscarinic receptor (a G protein-coupled receptor, GPCR) by orthosteric agonist Arecaidine Propargyl Ester (APE) and dualsteric agonist N-8-Iper (N8) caused a ...

Similarity between class A and class B G-protein-coupled receptors exemplified through calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor modelling and mutagenesis studies [PDF]
Modelling class B G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) using class A GPCR structural templates is difficult due to lack of homology. The plant GPCR, GCR1, has homology to both class A and class B GPCRs. We have used this to generate a

Muscarinic modulation of M and h currents in gerbil spherical bushy cells.
Descending cholinergic fibers innervate the cochlear nucleus. Spherical bushy cells, principal neurons of the anterior part of the ventral cochlear nucleus, are depolarized by cholinergic agonists on two different time scales.

Physiological functions of muscarinic receptor M3
Muscarinic receptors belong to the family of G-protein coupled receptors. G-proteins are heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins that transfer signals from receptors to effectors. Effectors change levels of second messengers in the cell.
