A University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) study proves that the WIN55.212-2 drug protects the brain and reverses the initial cognitive damage caused by dementia, and explains how it works ...

Muscarinic (M) receptors involved in the airway tone regulation are as follows: M1 receptors, present on the cholinergic ganglia, with the role of facilitating neural transmission; M2 receptors ...

This is an important study using a combination of optogenetics and calcium imaging to provide insight into the function of the cholinergic input to the prelimbic cortex in probabilistic spatial ...

Drugs acting on the cholinergic system can improve or worsen cognitive abilities, and their effects are particularly pronounced in frail elderly individuals and patients with Alzheimer disease.

As the year unfolds the biotech industry will look closely at these ten first-in-class drugs on track to reach FDA approval ...

The ever increasing proportion of aged people in modern societies is leading to a substantial increase in the number of people affected by dementia, and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) in particular, which ...

It’s a sad fact that the manual transmission, while unlikely to go fully extinct anytime soon, is becoming increasingly rare. Driving culture is changing and so are driving habits; cars are also ...
