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, which ...

The interplay of mainly depressant and occasionally activating effects of alcohol creates chaos in the brain, leading to ...

The "burst" phase, which increases acetylcholine release from CINs ... research reveals how alcohol undermines these mechanisms, offering new insights into the broader effects of AUD.

The Vagus Nerve’s Mysterious Role in Mental Health Untangled ...

They investigated the neural mechanisms underlying cardiovascular responses by activating the lateral habenula in experiments using rats. Activation of the lateral habenula caused changes in blood ...

The strength of the evidence is incomplete and could be improved by changes in task design and analyses, cross-validation of the conditions in calcium imaging, as well as the incorporation of control ...

Drugs for metabolic diseases, vaccines, and cancer therapies feature among new product launches this year that could top $1 ...

The “pause” phase, on the other hand, which causes a dip in acetylcholine release from the CINs, is crucial for reversal learning, where new behaviors replace outdated ones. This groundbreaking ...

Enzyme mechanisms are the chemical transformations, and the steps within them, generated by enzymatic action on substrates. The mechanism of enzyme catalysis is similar in principle to other types ...

Cholinergic drugs (acetylcholine and methacholine) are usually used for the assessment of nonspecific bronchial hyperresponsiveness, due to the high sensitivity of this test. The cholinergic ...

They earn units by reducing emissions below “business-as-usual” – the emissions that would occur without the project. Just like emissions trading, for such mechanisms to work a tonne reduction must ...
