The Relationship Between Dopamine Neurotransmitter Dynamics and the Blood-Oxygen-Level-Dependent (BOLD) Signal: A Review of Pharmacological Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is widely used in investigations of normal cognition and brain disease and in various clinical applications. Pharmacological fMRI (pharma-fMRI) is a relatively new application, which is being used to elucidate

Effects of Z-338, a novel gastroprokinetic agent, on the actions of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters on neurons in area postrema

Journal of Smooth Muscle Research, 2010
We investigated the effects of the novel gastroprokinetic agent Z-338 on the actions of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters on neurons in area postrema (AP). Iontophoretic applications of acetylcholine (ACh), AMPA and NMDA increased, while GABA suppressed the firing rates of AP neurons recorded by extracellular electrodes.

Extracellular ATP shows synergistic enhancement of DNA synthesis when combined with agents that are active in wound healing or as neurotransmitters

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1990
The polypeptides PDGF, TGF alpha, and EGF have previously been shown by others to stimulate proliferation of fibroblasts and keratinocytes in the process of wound healing. Here we demonstrate that extracellular ATP, ADP or AMPPNP caused synergistic enhancement of DNA synthesis in 3T6 mouse fibroblasts and BALB/MK keratinocytes when combined with any of

Effects of various amino acids and their related agents in association with neurotransmitter substances on the morphine-induced Straub tail reaction in mice.

Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1978
Experiments were carried out in an attempt to elucidate the effects of various amino acids and their related agents in association with neurotransmitter substances on the morphine-induced Straub tail reaction (STR) in mice, using intracerebral injection technique.

Current and Future Treatments in Alzheimer Disease: An Update

Journal of Central Nervous System Disease, 2020
Disease-modifying treatment strategies for Alzheimer disease (AD) are still under extensive research. Nowadays, only symptomatic treatments exist for this disease, all trying to counterbalance the neurotransmitter disturbance: 3 cholinesterase inhibitors

An Acetylcholinesterase-Based Chronoamperometric Biosensor for Fast and Reliable Assay of Nerve Agents

Sensors, 2013
The enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is an important part of cholinergic nervous system, where it stops neurotransmission by hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
