Neuropharmacological targets for drug action in vestibular sensory pathways [PDF]
, 2017 The use of pharmacological agents is often the preferred approach to the management of vestibular dysfunction. In the vestibular sensory pathways, the sensory neuroepithelia are thought to be influenced by a diverse number of neuroactive substances that ...

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Background Anxiety and autonomic dysfunction are frequent non‐motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Their relationship, as well as the neural mechanisms underlying this relationship, remain unexplored. Objectives We aimed to investigate the relationship between cardiovascular functions and anxiety in PD and the structural neural changes ...

Expression of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in human lung cells
Respiratory Research, 2005 Background We and others have shown that one of the mechanisms of growth regulation of small cell lung cancer cell lines and cultured pulmonary neuroendocrine cells is by the binding of agonists to the α7 neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.

Pharmacological Research, 2023 Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) have been historically defined as ligand-gated ion channels and function as such in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Recently, however, non-ionic signaling mechanisms via nAChRs have been demonstrated

Nicotinic receptor agonists as neuroprotective/neurotrophic drugs. Progress in molecular mechanisms [PDF]
, 2006 In the present work we reviewed recent advances concerning neuroprotective/neurotrophic effects of acute or chronic nicotine exposure, and the signalling pathways mediating these effects, including mechanisms implicated in nicotine addiction and nAChR ...
