Acetylcholine plays a vital role as a neurotransmitter that oversees cognitive tasks, memory, and the regulation of mood. With aging, our body’s generation of acetylcholine decreases ...

It seems likely that, in vivo, more complex mechanisms have a role in the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, including involvement of a variety of different immune cells, neurotransmitters and ...

Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that help nerve cells (neurons) communicate with one another. These chemical ...

Jing’s recent paper in Nature Methods presented a brain sensor that precisely measures acetylcholine, one of the chief neurotransmitters in control of arousal, attention, muscle contraction ...

This nutrient comes before the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, responsible for memory, learning, and emotional regulation. As a result, there is significant interest in choline supplements as a ...

A team of scientists at HSE University, in collaboration with the Institute of Higher Nervous Activity and Neurophysiology of ...

A healthy brain balances “activate” and “inhibit” signaling in its neural microcircuitry, with the inhibitory signaling often provided by cell receptors for the neurotransmitter GABA.   Unexpected ...

Additional studies in collaboration with Ibañez-Tallon showed that lynx-1 altered the function of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that helps to activate muscles ...

Antidepressants may act on other neurotransmitters, such as acetylcholine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). The monoamines, serotonin and norepinephrine also influence and are influenced by ...
