Researchers have painstakingly mapped the interior of a key component of the relay system that allows the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to get its message across. The neurotransmitter acetylcholine ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois claim to have mapped the inside of a vital substance that enables acetylcholine to transmit impulses from neurons to skeletal muscle cells in the relay system ...

The acetylcholine-binding protein (AChBP) is not an ion-conducting, nicotinic ACh receptor by another name. But the recently published high-resolution structure of the AChBP 1 is richly revealing of ...

Acetylcholine is a chemical messenger, or neurotransmitter, that plays an important role in brain and muscle function. Imbalances in acetylcholine are linked with chronic conditions, such as Alzheimer ...

In recent years, nootropics, also called smart drugs, have gained popularity among people looking to improve their mental performance. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter, or brain chemical, that ...

The neurotransmitter acetylcholine is an essential chemical communicator, carrying impulses from neurons to skeletal muscle cells and many parts of the nervous system. Now researchers at the ...
