Perinatal Exposure to the Neonicotinoid Thiacloprid Impacts Transcription of Neuroplasticity and Neuroendocrine Markers in Mice but Not in the Zebrafish Model

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neonicotinoids are widely used insecticides in agriculture, aquaculture, pet care, and urban pest control. Initially developed to selectively target the insect cholinergic system, their extensive use has raised concerns about adverse effects on nontarget vertebrates.

Abnormal response to chronic social defeat stress and fear extinction in a mouse model of Lynx2-based cholinergic dysregulation

Frontiers in Neuroscience
Nicotinic receptor signaling is influential in modulating appropriate responses to salient stimuli within a complex environment. The cholinergic neurotransmitter system drives attention to salient stimuli such as stressors, and aids in orchestrating the ...

Genetics update: monogenetics, polygene disorders and the quest for modifying genes [PDF]

, 2018
The genetic channelopathies are a broad collection of diseases. Many ion channel genes demonstrate wide phenotypic pleiotropy, but nonetheless concerted efforts have been made to characterise genotype-phenotype relationships.

Agrin-induced acetylcholine receptor clustering in mammalian muscle requires tyrosine phosphorylation. [PDF]

, 1996
Agrin is thought to be the nerve-derived factor that initiates acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clustering at the developing neuromuscularjunction. We have investigated the signaling pathway in mouse C2 myotubes and report that agrin induces a rapid but ...
