Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that plays a role in memory, learning, attention, arousal and involuntary muscle movement. Medical conditions associated with low acetylcholine levels include Alzheimer's disease and myasthenia gravis. Researchers still need more studies to determine if choline supplements provide health benefits.

Here we demonstrate that the putative targets of the Bolwig photoreceptors, the PDF-containing clock neurons (LNs), in the larval brain express functional ACh receptors (AChRs). With the use of GAL4-UAS-driven expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP), we were able to identify LNs in dissociated cell culture.

This then inhibits coenzyme A and reduces levels of acetylcholine in all areas of the brain (11-13). So it's best to avoid alcohol if you want to increase your acetylcholine levels. And if you do drink alcohol regularly, definitely supplement with pantethine so that you can maintain your acetylcholine levels.

The contribution of acetylcholine to psychiatric illnesses remains an area of active research. For example, increased understanding of mechanisms underlying cholinergic modulation of cortical function has provided insight into attentional dysfunction in schizophrenia. Acetylcholine normally enhances cortical sensitivity to external stimuli …

Long-standing theories propose that acetylcholine biases memory by slowly shifting hippocampal dynamics to favor encoding or retrieval. However, recent characterizations of acetylcholine functions across multiple spatiotemporal scales suggest that its mnemonic influence is both broader in space, coordinating networks of regions, and narrower in …

Structural analysis results are even more impressive for the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors where 3D structures were determined for all M1–M5 subtypes, and in this issue we have a review by Jakubik and El-Fakahany [ 4] devoted to one particular problem, namely the allosteric modulation of muscarinic receptors.

Acetylcholine (ACh) is a small molecule neurotransmitter best known for its role at the neuromuscular junction, the synapse between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber. In the presynaptic terminal, acetylcholine is synthesized from acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA) and choline via the enzyme choline acetyltransferase (ChAT). The level of enzyme …
