## Abstract Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) stability in the postsynaptic membrane is affected by serine kinases. AChR are phosphorylated by protein kinase C (PKC) and PKA, and we have shown that activation of PKA and PKC have opposite effects on AChR stability and that this may play some role in the
Since physostigmine (Phy) is presently used in the experimental treatment of Alzheimer disease (AD) patients by means of intracerebral ventricular (i.c.v.) administration, we designed a study to determine the effect of the drug administered by the same route on the cholinergic system of the rat brai
