Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), the enzyme responsible for the biosynthesis of
acetylcholine, is presently the most specific indicator for monitoring the functional state of …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the storage of acetylcholine (ACh) by synaptic
vesicles and the relationship of storage to other aspects of presynaptic ACh metabolism. The …

The physiological and molecular features of nonpyramidal cells were investigated in acute
slices of sensory-motor cortex using whole-cell recordings combined with single-cell RT …

RDC8 has been recently cloned and characterized as an adenosine A2 receptor. This
receptor is expressed exclusively by medium‐sized neurons of the striatum as demonstrated …

The vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) has been identified and characterized
based on the acquisition of high affinity vesamicol binding and proton-dependent, vesamicol …

Yan, Zhen, Wen-Jie Song, and D. James Surmeier. D2 dopamine receptors reduce N-type
Ca2+ currents in rat neostriatal cholinergic interneurons through a membrane-delimited …

The medial septum‐diagonal band complex (MSDB) contains cholinergic and non‐
cholinergic neurons known to play key roles in learning and memory processing, and in the …

The rodent and primate basal forebrain is a target of a family of endogenous peptide
signaling molecules, the neurotrophins--nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic …

Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT; EC 2.3. 1.6) catalyzes the reversible synthesis of
acetylcholine (ACh) from acetyl CoA and choline at cholinergic synapses. Mutations in …

Abstract Selective, 35 S-labeled, oligonucleotide probes were designed from sequences of
the rat beta-1 and beta-2 adrenoceptor messenger RNAs for use in in situ hybridization …
