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 ...

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.

Scientists have uncovered a powerful strategy that the brain uses to coordinate chemical signaling. In a new study, ...

Acetylcholine "conductors" in the striatum directly trigger serotonin release, offering new insights into the origins of OCD and chemical imbalances.

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 ...

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 ...

Figure 2: Human alpha cells express vAChT and ChAT. Figure 3: Isolated human islets secrete acetylcholine (ACh) in response to alpha cell–specific stimuli. We further used the biosensor assay 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 ...

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 ...
