Cholinergic Signaling, Neural Excitability, and Epilepsy

Molecules, 2021
Epilepsy is a common brain disorder characterized by recurrent epileptic seizures with neuronal hyperexcitability. Apart from the classical imbalance between excitatory glutamatergic transmission and inhibitory γ-aminobutyric acidergic transmission ...

Mitochondria‐Targeted Nanotherapies in Aging Neurodegenerative Disorders: Emerging Prospects and Clinical Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Mitochondria‐targeted nanotherapies emerge as a promising strategy for combating aging‐associated neurodegenerative disorders (NDs) by restoring mitochondrial function, reducing oxidative stress, and improving neuronal survival. Recent advances in nanotechnology, therapeutic delivery, and translational research are highlighted, providing insights into ...

Bottom‐Up Engineering of a Human Neuromuscular System for Modeling Activity‐Induced Remodeling, Metabolic Stress, and Endothelial‐Modulated Excitability

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Using a bottom‐up approach, we engineered a human neuromuscular microchip to investigate distinct adaptive responses to neural stimulation and metabolic stress. Further integration of endothelial cells revealed their critical role in modulating neuromuscular excitability, establishing a comprehensive neurovascular‐muscular model.

Peripheral muscarinic receptors mediate the anti-inflammatory effects of auricular acupuncture

Chinese Medicine, 2011
Background The cholinergic and opioid systems play important roles in modulating inflammation. This study tests whether auricular acupuncture (AA) produces anti-inflammatory effects via opioid and peripheral cholinergic receptors in a rat model.

Making Sweat Measurable: Induction, Sampling, and Refreshment in Wearable Biofluid Sensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Wearable sweat sensing relies not only on chemical detection but also on controlled biofluid management. This Review integrates sweat physiology, induction strategies, and microfluidic sampling architectures, demonstrating how flux, transport, and refreshment shape measurement reliability.

Immediate early gene expression in the mesopontine tegmentum and midbrain after acute or chronic nicotine administration [PDF]

, 2008
The reinforcing properties of nicotine depend partly on cholinergic projections from the pedunculopontine tegmental (PPTg) and laterodorsal tegmental (LDTg) nuclei to midbrain dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and substantia nigra pars

Paying attention to smell: Cholinergic signaling in the olfactory bulb.

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2014
The tractable, layered architecture of the olfactory bulb (OB), and its function as a relay between odor input and higher cortical processing, makes it an attractive model to study how sensory information is processed at a synaptic and circuit level. The

Lesions of cholinergic pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus neurons fail to affect cocaine or heroin self-administration or conditioned place preference in rats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Cholinergic input to the ventral tegmental area (VTA) is known to contribute to reward. Although it is known that the pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPTg) provides an important source of excitatory input to the dopamine system, the specific role of ...

Exploring Cholinergic Compounds for Peripheral Neuropathic Pain Management: A Comprehensive Scoping Review of Rodent Model Studies

Pharmaceuticals, 2023
Neuropathic pain affects about 7–8% of the population, and its management still poses challenges with unmet needs. Over the past decades, researchers have explored the cholinergic system (muscarinic and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors: mAChR and nAChR)

Modulation of cholinergic synaptic transmission in an identified locust sensory pathway [PDF]

, 2000
The monosynaptic connection between the locust forewing stretch receptor (fSR) and the first basalar motoneuron (BAl) is part of a sensory pathway involved in flight.
