Significats de cholinergic transmission en anglès

A proposed mechanism linking airway insults to airway hyperreactivity is augmented cholinergic transmission.

Impaired cholinergic transmission is believed to play an important role in the development of delirium.

Muscarinic cholinergic transmission plays an important role in modulating hippocampal activity and many higher brain functions.

These results clarify the roles of these genetically defined receptor proteins in cholinergic transmission in brain.

In the current study, we tested the hypothesis that acute potentiation of cholinergic transmission is sufficient to induce airway hyperreactivity.

These neuroadaptations probably develop to counteract the decreased glutamate and cholinergic transmission that is hypothesized to characterize early nicotine withdrawal.

These findings suggest that augmented cholinergic transmission is sufficient to induce airway hyperreactivity, and raise the possibility that cholinergic-mediated regulation of pro-inflammatory pathways might contribute.

In the gastrointestinal tract, GalR1 mediates the galanin inhibition of cholinergic transmission to the longitudinal muscle and reduction of peristalsis efficiency in the small intestine.
