Evidence for encoding versus retrieval scheduling in the hippocampus by theta phase and acetylcholine.

J. Neurosci. 33(20) , 8689-704, (2013)

The formation of new memories requires new information to be encoded in the face of proactive interference from the past. Two solutions have been proposed for hippocampal region CA1: (1) acetylcholine, released in novelty, selectively suppresses excitatory pr...

Zhongguo Zhong Yao Za Zhi 37(19) , 2956-9, (2012)

To study on the effect of acteoside on learning and memory of dementia mice.Mice were orally administered with acteoside for 10 days. Scopolamine was used to establish the acquired learning disability in mice. Their learning and memory were detected with a be...

M1 and m2 muscarinic receptor subtypes regulate antidepressant-like effects of the rapidly acting antidepressant scopolamine.

J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 351(2) , 448-56, (2014)

Scopolamine produces rapid and significant symptom improvement in patients with depression, and most notably in patients who do not respond to current antidepressant treatments. Scopolamine is a nonselective muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist, and i...

Acute effects of a low-dose atropine/scopolamine mixture as a food contaminant in human volunteers.

J. Appl. Toxicol. 33(9) , 980-90, (2013)

To verify the assumptions in our previous risk assessment of an atropine/scopolamine mixture in buckwheat flour, we performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over study in 20 healthy, adult volunteers. The volunteers ingested a traditiona...

Monitoring keratitis resolution with optical coherence tomography.

Optom. Vis. Sci. 91(4 Suppl 1) , S40-5, (2014)

Biomicroscopy is generally used, sometimes in conjunction with photography or ultrasound pachymetry, to monitor conditions involving stromal keratitis and edema. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), a technology typically used to examine the...

Performance of conventional pigs and Göttingen miniature pigs in a spatial holeboard task: effects of the putative muscarinic cognition impairer Biperiden.

Behav. Brain Funct. 9 , 4, (2013)

The pig is emerging as a model species that bridges the gap between rodents and humans in research. In particular, the miniature pig (referred to hereafter as the minipig) is increasingly being used as non-rodent species in pharmacological and toxicological s...

An atypical pattern of accumulation of scopolamine and other tropane alkaloids and expression of alkaloid pathway genes in Hyoscyamus senecionis.

Plant Physiol. Biochem. 70 , 188-94, (2013)

A cDNA encoding hyoscyamine 6β-hydroxylase (H6H, EC 1.14.11.11), a bifunctional enzyme catalyzing the last two steps in the scopolamine biosynthetic pathway, was isolated from Hyoscyamus senecionis, a medicinal plant endemic to the Iranian plateau. Expression...
