Cortical neuromodulatory transmitter systems refer to those classical neurotransmitters such
as acetylcholine and monoamines, which share a number of common features. For instance …

The cholinergic system has a crucial role to play in visual function. Although cholinergic
drugs have been a focus of attention as glaucoma medications for reducing eye pressure …

The nucleus basalis of the basal forebrain is an essential component of the
neuromodulatory system controlling the behavioral state of an animal and it is thought to be …

The density of transmitter receptors varies between different locations in the human cerebral
cortex. We hypothesized that this variation may reflect the cyto-and myeloarchitectonical as …

Due to the increasing importance of the central serotonergic neurotransmission for
pathogenetic concepts and as a target of pharmacotherapeutic interventions in psychiatry …

Acetylcholine (ACh) is an important neurotransmitter of the CNS that binds both nicotinic and
muscarinic receptors to exert its action. However, the mechanisms underlying the effects of …

Cholinergic control of the activity of human cerebral cortical circuits has long been thought to
be accounted for by the interaction of acetylcholine (ACh) with muscarinic receptors. Here …

The modulatory influence of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChRs) on thalamocortical
transmission was characterized in the prelimbic area (PrL) of the rat prefrontal cortex. In the …

Acetylcholine is involved in a variety of brain functions. In the visual cortex, the pattern of
cholinergic innervation varies considerably across different mammalian species and across …

We described an extensive network of cortical pyramidal neurons in the human brain with
abundant acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity. Emergence of these neurons during …
