Stress elicits a transient increase in ACh release [1–3]. This increase in ACh levels is an
important contributor to the neuroendocrine, emotional and physiological response to …

Reviews evidence that suggests that central acetylcholine (CAC) may be a moderator of
acute aversive stress. In support of this possibility, animal evidence suggests that stress may …

Major depressive disorder has a heterogeneous etiology, since it arises from the interaction
of multiple factors and different pathophysiological mechanisms are involved in the …

A number of experimental results has pointed to a cholinergic involvement in the stress
response. Recently, analytical techniques have become available to measure acetylcholine …

Cholinergic system supersensitivity may be involved in the pathophysiology of depressive
disorders (Janowsky et al. 1972; Dilsaver and Greden 1984; Dilsaver 1986). Associations …

Hippocampal extracellular acetylcholine (ACh) and choline levels were evaluated using in
vivo microdialysis in male Fischer 344 rats before, during, and following an 80-min exposure …

Central cholinergic (ACh) projections have been shown to modulate stress-induced
activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and are integral to the expression …

This chapter will trace some of the history of work on the relation between cholinergic
systems in the brain and behavior. The problem of such a task is that work proceeded in …

Three principal features of mammalian stress responses are that they span peripheral and
CNS changes, modify blood cell composition and activities, and cover inter‐related …

Central Cholinergic Systems and behavior reviews experimental evidence on the possible
involvement of central cholinergic systems in the regulation of animal behavior. More …
