Although acetylcholine (ACh) was first isolated from the brain more than 50 years ago by Chang and Gaddum (see Dale, 1938) and the experiments of Curtis and Eccles (1958) identified the Renshaw cell as cholinoceptive more than 25 years ago, since that time no other synapse in the central...
Fig. 1.Schematic representation of a cholinergic synapse. The neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) is synthesized from choline and acetyl CoA by the enzyme choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and is loaded by the vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) into presynaptic vesicles. ACh remains stored in ...
Acetylcholine processing in a synapse. After release acetylcholine is broken down by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Like many other biologically active substances, acetylcholine exerts its effects by binding to and activating receptors located on the surface of cells.There are two main classes of acetyl...
When acetylcholine is present at the synapse, the plasticity window (black) is negative and symmetric (i.e. the weight changes proportionally to the lag between the spikes, irrespectively of the order). If dopamine is added, the plasticity window converts to positive (red). (ii) Schematic ...
Most importantly, the ability of rapsyn clusters to localize effectively to subsynaptic sites also was rescued in large part. Our results point to direct involvement of the AChR molecule in restricting receptor-rapsyn clusters to the synapse. 展开 ...
neurotransmitter in many parts of the body, it is most commonly associated with the neuromuscular junction. The neuromuscular junction is where motor neurons located in the ventral spinal cord synapse with muscles in the body to activate them. Acetylcholine also functions as a neurotransmitter in the...
Tracing experiments in rodents suggested two pathways that could link muscarinic antagonism with theta oscillatory disruption: a “direct” pathway by which cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain (BF) modulate hippocampal interneurons, and an “indirect” pathway by which cholinergic neurons synapse lo...
