Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010 We have previously shown that chronic donepezil treatment induces nicotinic acetylcholine receptor up-regulation and enhances the sensitivity of the neurons to the neuroprotective effect of donepezil. Further analyses revealed that the nicotinic receptor

High Throughput Random Mutagenesis and Single Molecule Real Time Sequencing of the Muscle Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 High throughput random mutagenesis is a powerful tool to identify which residues are important for the function of a protein, and gain insight into its structure-function relation.

Cholinergic suppression: A postsynaptic mechanism of long-term associative learning [PDF]
, 1986 Food avoidance learning in the mollusc Pleurobranchaea entails reduction in the responsiveness of key brain interneurons in the feeding neural circuitry, the paracerebral feeding command interneurons (PCNs), to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (AcCho).

Nicotinic Receptor Activity Alters Synaptic Plasticity
The Scientific World Journal, 2001 Studies using specific agonists, antagonists, and lesions have shown that nicotinic cholinergic systems participate in attention, learning, and memory[1,2].

Effect of nicotine on exocytotic pancreatic secretory response: role of calcium signaling
Tobacco Induced Diseases, 2013 Background Nicotine is a risk factor for pancreatitis resulting in loss of pancreatic enzyme secretion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanisms of nicotine-induced secretory response measured in primary pancreatic acinar cells isolated from ...

Scientific Reports, 2022 Successful cholinergic-noradrenergic pharmacotherapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is thought to be due to effects at the hypoglossal motor nucleus (HMN). Clinical efficacy varies with muscarinic-receptor (MR) subtype affinities. We hypothesized that

Cholinergic modulation of dopamine overflow in the rat neostriatum: A fast cyclic voltammetric study in vitro [PDF]
, 1994 Stimulus-evoked dopamine overflow in rat neostriatal slices was determined using fast cyclic voltammetry. The dopamine efflux induced by intrastriatal stimulation increased with stimulus intensity and was found to be enhanced by more than 100% upon ...

Characterizing the Access of Cholinergic Antagonists to Efferent Synapses in the Inner Ear
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Stimulation of cholinergic efferent neurons innervating the inner ear has profound, well-characterized effects on vestibular and auditory physiology, after activating distinct ACh receptors (AChRs) on afferents and hair cells in peripheral endorgans ...
