The periaqueductal gray (PAG) is a major component of the descending pain inhibitory pathway, which is related to central analgesia. In the present study, we have investigated the possible roles of presynaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in GABAergic transmission onto PAG neurons. In acutely isolated rat PAG neurons, GABAergic miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents (mIPSCs) were recor...
Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric illness with a lifetime prevalence of ˜1% that imposes a huge toll on patients, their families and public health services worldwide. Delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior and negative symptoms constitute the core symptoms of schizophrenia. Although the neurotransmitter dopamine plays a prominent role in t...
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are pentameric ligand-gated ion channels, which are involved in a wide range of neuronal functions. During the past decade, a large number of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunits have been cloned and showed a discreet yet overlapping distribution pattern. Recently, several groups have produced mutant mice lacking specific nicotinic acetylcholine receptor s...
Septo-hippocampal cholinergic fibres ramify extensively throughout the hippocampal formation to release acetylcholine upon a diverse range of muscarinic and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors that are differentially expressed by distinct populations of neurones. The resultant modulation of cellular excitability and synaptic transmission within hippocampal circuits underlies the ability of acetyl...
Application of acetylcholine to peripheral nerve terminals in the skin is a widely used test in studies of human small-fiber functions. However, a detailed pharmacological profile and the subunit composition of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in human C-fiber axons are not known. In the present study, we recorded acetylcholine-induced changes of the excitability and of the intracellular Ca2+ ...
The reaction-diffusion system of the neuromuscular junction has been modeled in 3D using the finite element package FEtk. The numerical solution of the dynamics of acetylcholine with the detailed reaction processes of acetylcholinesterases and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors has been discussed with the reaction-determined boundary conditions. The simulation results describe the detailed acety...
High-affinity binding of [3H]acetylcholine to muscarinic cholinergic sites in rat CNS and peripheral tissues was measured in the presence of cytisin, which occupies nicotinic cholinergic receptors. The muscarinic sites were characterized with regard to binding kinetics, pharmacology, anatomical distribution, and regulation by guanyl nucleotides. These binding sites have characteristics of high-...
Conotoxin GI, a peptide neurotoxin contained in the venom of the marine snail Conus geographus, was applied to the cutaneous pectoris muscle of the frog, and the effects on the postsynaptic response to acetylcholine were examined. Conotoxin GI reversibly blocked nerve-evoked muscle contractions at concentrations greater than or equal to 3 to 4 microM. Micromolar concentrations of conotoxin GI s...
