We studied the autoradiographic densities of all pharmacologically characterised muscarinic receptors (MR) in frontal, temporal, and visual cortex, hippocampal formation, and striatum in autopsied brains from 19 histopathologically verified patients of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and in matched control
Possible involvement of receptors in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia has been suggested. In this study we searched systematically for polymorphisms in the 5-franking region of the 1 receptor. Genetic variation in this region could reduce the expression of the gene, and this suggestion is compatibl
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Nutrient supply to the developing mammalian embryo is a fundamental requirement. Before completion of the chorioallantoic placenta, the visceral endoderm plays a crucial role in nurturing the embryo. We have found that visceral endoderm cells express folate receptor 1, a
pathway. In contrast, cerebral cortical precursors express primarily the ''short'' (non-insert) receptor isoform and exhibit increased cAMP levels alone following PACAP treatment. Thus, opposing mitogenic regulation in sympathetic and cortical precursors correlates with differential receptor isoform
