Cholinergic receptors (muscarinic subtypes M1 and M2, and putative nicotinic binding) have
been examined in the hippocampus obtained at autopsy from a variety of patients with …

The status of cholinergic receptors in dementia is related to the question of potential
cholinergic therapy. Whilst muscarinic receptor binding is generally reported to be normal or …

The cholinergic receptors are classically divided into two kinds, namely the nicotinic
acetylcholine receptor and the muscarinic acetyl-choline receptor. The existence of these …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) and to a lesser extent progressive
supranuclear palsy are characterized by dysfunction of the cholinergic basal forebrain …

Publisher Summary The cholinergic system of the brain has been implicated in memory
function. Evidence for this role is anatomical, physiological and pharmacological. In all …

The status of various cholinergic markers was compared in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
diseases. Rather unexpectedly, similar decrements were observed in choline …

Total muscarinic receptor levels, the levels of the subtypes exhibiting high and low affinity for
pirenzepine, and the high‐and low‐affinity agonist states of the receptor were investigated in …

The total population of muscarinic receptors and a subpopulation of muscarinic receptors
with high affinity for agonists were measured with [3 H] quinuclidinyl benzilate and [3 H] …

The cellular distribution of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor protein in the frontal cortex of
Alzheimer (AD) patients, age-matched and middle-aged controls was assessed …

Nicotinic and muscarinic cholinergic receptors were studied in autopsied brains from four
histologically normal controls and five histopathologically verified cases of Alzheimer‐type …
