Cholinergic modulation of hippocampal network function

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2013
Cholinergic septohippocampal projections from the medial septal area to the hippocampus are proposed to have important roles in cognition by modulating properties of the hippocampal network.

Activations of muscarinic M receptors in the anterior cingulate cortex contribute to the antinociceptive effect via GABAergic transmission

Molecular Pain, 2017
Background Cholinergic systems regulate the synaptic transmission resulting in the contribution of the nociceptive behaviors. Anterior cingulate cortex is a key cortical area to play roles in nociception and chronic pain.

Selectively driving cholinergic fibers optically in the thalamic reticular nucleus promotes sleep

eLife, 2016
Cholinergic projections from the basal forebrain and brainstem are thought to play important roles in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and arousal. Using transgenic mice in which channelrhdopsin-2 is selectively expressed in cholinergic neurons, we show ...

Cholinergic Receptors in the Extraocular Rectus Muscle of the Rabbit

Ophthalmic Research, 2009
The cholinergic receptors in rabbit isolated rectus muscle preparations were characterized by means of cholinergic agonists and antagonists. The concentration-dependent contraction induced by acetylcholine, carbachol or oxotremorine remained uninfluenced by atropine (10-5M), whereas the nicotinic receptor antagonist hexamethonium caused a parallel ...

Dual role of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the retrosplenial cortex for aversive memory acquisition and retrieval

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience
In the retrosplenial cortex (RSC), the role of cholinergic modulation via α7 nicotinic receptors and their involvement in memory is unknown. In recent years, the RSC has been shown to deteriorate in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Likewise,

Biological Functions of Keratinocyte Cholinergic Receptors

Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings, 1997
Human epidermal keratinocytes possess cholinergic enzymes, which synthesize and degrade acetylcholine, and express both nicotinic and muscarinic classes of cholinergic receptors on their cell surfaces. These receptors bind acetylcholine and initiate cellular response.
