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 کاملSwitching memory systems during learning: changes in patterns of brain acetylcholine release in the hippocampus and striatum in rats.
This experiment measured acetylcholine (ACh) release simultaneously in the hippocampus and striatum while rats were trained in a cross maze. Consistent with past findings, rats initially showed learning on the basis of place (i.e., turning to the correct position relative to the room), but after extensive training, rats shifted to learning on the basis of response (i.e., turning to the right/le...
متن کاملNimodipine improves spatial working memory and elevates hippocampal acetylcholine in young rats.
The calcium channel blocker nimodipine has been reported to improve cognitive performance in aged and brain-damaged animals. In the present study, the effects of nimodipine and placebo on spatial working memory and hippocampal acetylcholine were studied in young Fischer-344 rats. Nimodipine or placebo was administered via subcutaneously implanted, sustained-release pellets. Each active pellet c...
متن کاملApolipoprotein E4 reduces evoked hippocampal acetylcholine release in adult mice
Apolipoprotein E4 (apoE4) is the most prevalent genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. We utilized apoE4-targeted replacement mice (approved by the Tel Aviv University Animal Care Committee) to investigate whether cholinergic dysfunction, which increases during aging and is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, is accentuated by apoE4. This revealed that levels of the pre-synaptic cholinergi...
