The researchers used fiber photometry systems to detect neurotransmitters, which involved injecting the mice with fluorescent ...

Medically reviewed by Femi Aremu, PharmD Dementia is a loss of brain function that affects memory, thinking, judgment, ...

Researchers have studied how dopamine and acetylcholine regulate the progression of sexual behavior in male mice. Their ...

Additional studies in collaboration with Ibañez-Tallon showed that lynx-1 altered the function of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that helps to activate muscles ...

To uncover what drives sexual behavior in animals, researchers studied the brain activity of male mice throughout the series of actions involved in sex leading up to ejaculation.

It stimulates specific acetylcholine receptors (called muscarinic receptors) in the brain while limiting stimulation of these receptors in the peripheral nervous system (for example, in the ...

Anticholinergics prevent the increases in intracellular concentration of Ca++ which is caused by interaction of acetylcholine with the muscarinic receptors on bronchial smooth muscle. The ...

In particular, the finding that acetylcholine-receptor antagonists have an antiproliferative effect on neural stem cells has important implications for the understanding and treatment of Alzheimer ...
