Cholinergic regulation of fear learning and extinction
Journal of Neuroscience Research, 2017 Cholinergic activation regulates cognitive function, particularly long‐term memory consolidation. This Review presents an overview of the anatomical, neurochemical, and pharmacological evidence supporting the cholinergic regulation of Pavlovian ...

Structure and dynamics of dynorphin peptide and its receptor [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Dynorphin is a neuropeptide involved in pain, addiction and mood regulation. It exerts its activity by binding to the kappa opioid receptor (KOP) which belongs to the large family of G-protein coupled receptors. The dynorphin peptide was discovered in 1975, while its receptor was cloned in 1993.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1992 The rodent and primate basal forebrain is a target of a family of endogenous peptide signaling molecules, the neurotrophins--nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and neurotrophin 3--and of the gonadal steroid hormone estrogen, both of ...

LOCAL STIMULATION OF α7 CHOLINERGIC RECEPTORS INHIBITS LPS-INDUCED TNF-α RELEASE IN THE MOUSE LUNG
Shock, 2007 The cholinergic nervous system can inhibit the release of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α from LPS-stimulated macrophages. Acetylcholine, the principal neurotransmitter of the vagus nerve, is the key mediator of this so-called cholinergic anti ...

Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology, 2005 Dysfunction of nerve growth factor (NGF) and its high (TrkA) and low (p75NTR) affinity receptors has been suggested to underlie the selective degeneration of the nucleus basalis (NB) cholinergic cortical projection neurons in end stage Alzheimer disease (

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016 The striatum is the most prominent nucleus in the basal ganglia and plays an important role in motor movement regulation. The cholinergic interneurons (ChIs) in striatum are involved in the motion regulation by releasing acetylcholine (ACh) and ...

Protein connectivity in chemotaxis receptor complexes [PDF]
, 2015 The chemotaxis sensory system allows bacteria such as Escherichia coli to swim towards nutrients and away from repellents. The underlying pathway is remarkably sensitive in detecting chemical gradients over a wide range of ambient concentrations. Interactions among receptors, which are predominantly clustered at the cell poles, are crucial to this ...

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.

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2019 The olfactory bulb (OB) receives significant cholinergic innervation and widely expresses cholinergic receptors. While acetylcholine (ACh) is essential for olfactory learning, the exact mechanisms by which ACh modulates olfactory learning and whether it ...
