Muscarinic modulation of M and h currents in gerbil spherical bushy cells.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
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.

Striatal cholinergic interneurons generate beta and gamma oscillations in the corticostriatal circuit and produce motor deficits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic (CBT) neural circuits are critical modulators of cognitive and motor function. When compromised, these circuits contribute to neurological and psychiatric disorders, such as Parkinson's disease (PD).

Relationship between muscarinic M1 receptor binding and cognition in medication-free subjects with psychosis

open access: yesNeuroImage: Clinical, 2018
Background: It is still unclear which underlying mechanisms are involved in cognitive deficits of psychotic disorders. Pro-cognitive effects of muscarinic M1 receptor agonists suggest alterations in M1 receptor functioning may modulate these symptoms ...

Cross-diagnostic determinants of cognitive functioning: the muscarinic cholinergic receptor as a model system

open access: yesTranslational Psychiatry, 2023
Cognitive impairment is a predictor of disability across different neuropsychiatric conditions, and cognitive abilities are also strongly related to educational attainment and indices of life success in the general population.

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M1 mutations causing neurodevelopmental disorder and epilepsy [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Mutation, 2021
De novo rare damaging variants in genes involved in critical developmental pathways, notably regulation of synaptic transmission, have emerged as a frequent cause of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). NDD show great locus heterogeneity and for many of the associated genes, there is substantial phenotypic diversity, including epilepsy, intellectual ...

Interaction of the Xanthine Nucleotide Binding Goα Mutant with G Protein-coupled Receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
We constructed a double mutant version of the α subunit of Go that was regulated by xanthine nucleotides instead of guanine nucleotides (GoαX). We investigated the interaction between GoαX and G protein-coupled receptors in vitro.

The effects of kindling during pregnancy on long-term potentiation (LTP) induction and M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in male rat offspring

open access: yesResearch in Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2023
Background and purpose: Neonates of pregnant women with epilepsy may compromise normal neurodevelopment and hippocampal morphology. Memory and learning disorders and a decrease in verbal IQ scores are seen in these children later in life. In the previous

Rat Schwann cells express M1–M4 muscarinic receptor subtypes

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience Research, 2006
AbstractThe expression of different muscarinic receptor subtypes was analyzed in immature Schwann cells obtained from sciatic nerve of 2‐day neonatal rats. By using RT‐PCR analysis, we demonstrated the presence of M1, M2, M3, and M4 receptor subtypes in cultured Schwann cells, with M2 displaying the highest expression levels.

Cholinergic Regulation of Orexin/Hypocretin Neurons Through M3Muscarinic Receptor in Mice

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
The cholinergic system plays an important role in regulation of arousal and REM sleep. In the present study, we showed that a muscarinic receptor agonist, carbachol (CCh), activates almost 20% of orexin-producing neurons (orexin neurons), which play a ...

Pertussis Toxin-sensitive Activation of Phospholipase C by the C5a and fMet-Leu-Phe Receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Signal transduction pathways that mediate C5a and fMet-Leu-Phe (fMLP)-induced pertussis toxin (PTx)-sensitive activation of phospholipase C (PLC) have been investigated using a cotransfection assay system in COS-7 cells.
