Modulation of hippocampal acetylcholine release and spontaneous alternation scores by intrahippocampal glucose injections.
Recent evidence indicates that systemic glucose treatment enhances memory while producing a corresponding increase in hippocampal acetylcholine (ACh) output. The present experiments examined whether unilateral intrahippocampal infusions of glucose would enhance spontaneous alternation performance and whether there would be a corresponding increase in ACh output in the ipsilateral and contralate...
متن کاملHippocampal nicotinic autoreceptors modulate acetylcholine release.
Introduction Nicotine promotes transmitter release in the brain by a direct action on presynaptic terminals. Pharmacological evidence confirms that this action is mediated by nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR). The most abundant brain nAChR, the a4B2 subtype, is identified by the binding of tritiated nicotine ([,H]Nic) [ 13. Lesioning and subcellular fractionation studies suggest that th...
متن کاملSpontaneous acetylcholine release in mammalian neuromuscular junctions.
Spontaneous secretion of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in mammalian neuromuscular synapsis depends on the Ca2+ content of nerve terminals. The Ca2+ electrochemical gradient favors the entry of this cation. We investigated the possible involvement of three voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (VDCC) (L-, N-, and P/Q-types) on spontaneous transmitter release at the rat neuromuscular junction. Min...
متن کاملIntrahippocampal infusions of k-atp channel modulators influence spontaneous alternation performance: relationships to acetylcholine release in the hippocampus.
One mechanism by which administration of glucose enhances cognitive functions may be by modulating central ATP-sensitive potassium (K-ATP) channels. K-ATP channels appear to couple glucose metabolism and neuronal excitability, with channel blockade increasing the likelihood of neurosecretion. The present experiment examined the effects of glucose and the direct K-ATP channel modulators glibencl...
متن کاملSpontaneous periodic hypothermia: diencephalic epilepsy.
The case of a patient with episodic hypothermia and profuse sweating believed to be due to diencephalic epilepsy is reported. Despite intensive investigations no other manifestations of hypothalamic dysfunction were found. Conventional antiepileptic drugs were without effect but the patient was successfully treated by total sympathectomy.
