Involvement of muscarinic system of the dorsal hippocampus on acute stress-induced spatial learning and memory enhancement in male mice

Introduction: The effects of stimulation and inhibition of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the dorsal hippocampus on spatial learning and memory in male NMRI mice after acute stress were investigated. Materials and Methods: Animals were divided into two subsets of stress and non-stress. Each subset consisted of: saline, atropine (a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist) (1, 5, and ...

The role of acetylcholine muscarinic receptors in the rat basolateral amygdala on morphine-induced place preference

Some studies have shown that acetylcholine muscarinic receptors involved in the opiate reward. In the present study, the effect of intra-basolateral amygdale (BLA) acetylcholine muscarinic like receptor agonist (physostigmine) and antagonist (atropine) on the acquisition of morphine-induced place preference has been investigated in male Wistar rats. For this purpose, two 22 gauges guide cannula...

Role of the cholinergic muscarinic receptors of the CA1 area in the memory impairment induced by iron oxide nanoparticle in adult male rats

Objective(s): Nanoparticles of iron oxide (nFe2O3) are widely used in medicine and industry and could interfere with the brain processes associated with memory. The involvement of muscarinic cholinergic receptors in the process of memory formation has been confirmed. The present study aimed to investigate the possible interference of the cholinergic muscarinic receptors of the dorsal hippocampa...
