Muscarinic receptors are involved with neurotransmission via acetylcholine and glutamate, and are hypothesised to be dysfunctional in schizophrenia. Most drugs developed to treat schizophrenia to ...

Cholinergic drugs (acetylcholine and methacholine ... both events explain the increase in airway resistance. Muscarinic (M) receptors involved in the airway tone regulation are as follows ...

A neuroanatomical minimal network model was revisited to elucidate the mechanism of salt concentration memory-dependent chemotaxis observed in Caenorhabditis elegans. C. elegans memorizes the salt ...

Striatal dopamine (DA) release regulates reward-related learning and behavioural activation and is believed to consist of a short-lived phasic and continuous tonic component. Here, we build a ...

Neurons have a high energy cost mainly sustained by glucose, but paradoxically present a weak glycolysis. This fact is now shown to account for healthy bioenergetics, reduced mitochondrial redox ...

Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are expressed by cells in the body in order to sense molecules that are associated with infection or tissue damage. They are important for activating the ...
