A recent report described the isolation of cDNA clones encoding alpha 7 and alpha 8 subunits
of alpha-bungarotoxin-sensitive nicotinic ACh receptors (alpha BgtAChRs) from chick …

The effects of intraocular injections of ethylcholine mustard aziridinium ion (AF64A), an
irreversible inhibitor of choline uptake, on the rabbit retina were assessed electrophysiologically, …

Starburst amacrine cells in the macaque retina were studied by electron microscopic
immunohistochemistry. We found that these amacrine cells make a type of synapse not described …

purpose. To explore the sympathetic innervation pattern and the role of sympathetic nervous
system control of protein secretion in the exorbital lacrimal glands of normal mice. methods. …

Some members of the epithelial Na + channel/degenerin (ENaC/DEG) family of ion channels
have been detected in mammalian brain. Therefore, we examined the RNA and protein …

Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) are composed of two types of subunits:
ACh-binding (termed α2, α3, α4 …) and structural (termed β2, β3, β4 …). AChR subtypes …

The ability of directionally selective (DS) retinal ganglion cells to respond selectively to stimulus
motion in one direction is a classic unresolved example of computation in a local neural …

Cholinergic agents affect the light responses of many ganglion cells (GCs) in the mammalian
retina by activating nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). Whereas retinal neurons …

Acetylcholine (ACh) in the vertebrate retina affects the response properties of many ganglion
cells, including those that display directional selectivity. Three β and eight α subunits of …

Purpose.: The activation and blockade of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) affects
retinal ganglion cell light responses and firing rates. This study was undertaken to identify …
