Figure 1: Endocrine cells in human pancreatic islets express cholinergic markers. Figure 2: Human alpha cells express vAChT and ChAT. Figure 3: Isolated human islets secrete acetylcholine (ACh) in ...

The recent INHANCE neuroimaging study made headlines around the globe when it showed brain exercises in BrainHQ increased the production of acetylcholine (the “pay attention” chemical) — known to ...

Acetylcholine regulates blood flow, but the source of blood acetylcholine has been unclear. Now, researchers at Karolinska Institutet have discovered that certain T cells in human blood can produce ...

Acetylcholine is the main neurotransmitter involved in bladder contraction. Immunohistochemical staining of choline acetyltransferase has revealed the presence of a non-neuronal cholinergic system ...

Surprisingly, a study of older adults is getting a lot of buzz among peak performance experts in the world of sports. The recent INHANCE neuroimaging study showed for the first time ever that there is ...

In a new study, a group of researchers, led by Dr. Joshua Goldberg from the Hebrew University, describe a new kind of neurochemical wave in the brain. Their research, published in Nature ...

Karolinska Institutet researchers identified dopamine-acetylcholine disruptions in the basal ganglia as key contributors to autism-related behavioral inflexibility. Using advanced techniques like ...

Acetylcholine (ACh) is a neuromodulator with a central role in aversive learning - rapid conditioning to unpleasant smell, taste, or touch. These learning functions play out in cells called D2 ...

More than 60% of complement inhibitor–naive patients with acetylcholine receptor–positive generalized myasthenia gravis (MG) in diverse clinical populations had a clinically meaningful reduction in MG ...
