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 ...

To compare pharmacological properties of heterologously expressed homomeric α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7 nAChRs) with those of native nAChRs containing α7 subunit (α7 * nAChRs) in rat ...

A mouse study highlights the role of acetylcholine in behavioral flexibility, offering new insight into the brain mechanisms involved in addiction and obsessive compulsive disorder.

It is important to understand the principles of normal neuromuscular transmission when using neuromuscular blocking agents. The neuromuscular junction consists of the motor-nerve terminus, the ...

Researchers are discovering more about an important part of the brain's complex communication system. The discovery could form the basis for future development of better medicines for patients with ...

Researchers have identified a new mechanism that underlies dopamine release in the brain. The research, conducted in mice, shows that another chemical messenger called acetylcholine can trigger the ...

For the first time, a study shows an online assessment can provide a scientific measure of acetylcholine – a key brain chemical, which declines progressively with cognitive aging and even more quickly ...

In a world-first breakthrough, scientists have shown that 10 weeks of brain exercises using a game-like app are enough to significantly upregulate the production of vital chemical acetylcholine, ...

Memopezil is at the center of a rapidly growing conversation about cognitive health in 2026, as consumer interest in brain support has reached an all-time high, with search volume for terms like ...
