Changes in acetylcholine extracellular levels during cognitive processes.
Measuring the changes in neurotransmitter extracellular levels in discrete brain areas is considered a tool for identifying the neuronal systems involved in specific behavioral responses or cognitive processes. Acetylcholine (ACh) is the first neurotransmitter whose diffusion from the central nervous system was investigated and whose extracellular levels variations were correlated to changes in...
متن کاملAuditory noise can prevent increased extracellular acetylcholine levels in the hippocampus in response to aversive stimulation.
The intent of this study was to investigate neurochemical and behavioural effects of aversive stimulation and the impact of auditory background noise. Using in vivo microdialysis, hippocampal acetylcholine was extracted and subjected to HPLC analysis while male Wistar rats were exposed to aversive stimulation similar to that used in conventional procedures for aversive conditioning. Three group...
متن کاملVoluntary ethanol intake increases extracellular acetylcholine levels in the ventral tegmental area in the rat.
AIMS Concurrent use of ethanol and nicotine (tobacco) is often seen in human beings. In previous animal experiments, we have demonstrated that nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, especially alpha-conotoxin MII and mecamylamine sensitive receptors located in the ventral tegmental area may be involved in the stimulatory, dopamine enhancing, and rewarding effects of ethanol in rodents. Ethanol may ...
متن کاملDeclining blood lead levels and changes in cognitive function during childhood: the Port Pirie Cohort Study.
CONTEXT Many studies have found a significant inverse association between early exposure to environmental lead and cognitive function in childhood. Whether these effects are reversible when exposure is reduced is not clear. OBJECTIVE To assess the reversibility of the apparent effects of lead on cognitive abilities in early childhood by testing whether declines in blood lead concentrations be...
متن کاملLinguistic Signatures of Cognitive Processes during Writing
The relationship between working memory capacity and writing ability was examined via a linguistic analysis of student essays. Undergraduate students (n = 108) wrote timed, prompt-based essays and completed a battery of cognitive assessments. The surfaceand discourse-level linguistic features of students’ essays were then analyzed using natural language processing tools. The results indicated t...
