✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The level of binding of a labeled acetylcholine muscarinic antagonist (quinuclidinyl benzilate) to different cerebral membranes has been measured. Of the regions examined, circadian rhythmicity of binding could only be detected significantly in the hippocampus and the hypothalamus and not in the cerebral cortex, striatum, or cerebellum.

Cholinergic synapses in the cochlear nucleus (CN) have been reported to modulate spontaneous activity via muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. In this study, muscarinic receptor binding was measured as specific binding of 1-[N-methyl-(3)H]scopolamine in CN regions of control rats and 7 days, 1 month,

The roles of the muscarinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptors (mAChRs) in long-term potentiation (LTP) at many areas of the central nervous system including the hippocampus, have been extensively studied. However, not much is known about the modulation of LTP through individual subtypes of mAChR (M(1)-M
