Researchers have identified a mechanism by which acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter best known for its role in muscle control and attention, can effectively commandeer serotonin release inside the ...

Scientists have uncovered a powerful strategy that the brain uses to coordinate chemical signaling. In a new study, ...

Acetylcholine "conductors" in the striatum directly trigger serotonin release, offering new insights into the origins of OCD and chemical imbalances.

Scientists have found a particularly interesting way that the brain orchestrates its chemical signaling. A newly invented scientific technique shows, for the first time, how one neurological chemical ...

In the hunt for the elusive origins of Alzheimer’s disease, researchers may have to dig deeper than ever before. Deeper into the brain, that is. According to a November 4 report in Nature ...

Cholinergic neurons are widespread, and pharmacological modulation of acetylcholine receptors affects numerous brain processes, but such modulation entails side effects due to limitations in ...

Parkinson's patients who take medications that block muscarinic cholinergic receptors have increased amyloid plaque and neurofibrillary tangle pathology, according to an article by Elaine Perry of the ...
