A University of Queensland-led study has found Australian skinks have evolved molecular armour to stop snake venom from ...

The new study proposes a mathematical mechanism by which simultaneous waves of acetylcholine and dopamine arise, which may represent how this balance is realized.

One of these circuits involves the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which affects activity in multiple parts of the brain. Targeting acetylcholine receptors can change pain responses, but the ...

Sir Bernard Katz, 92, a physician and physiologist who was a co-winner of the 1970 Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology for his research in explaining the transmission of nerve impulses from the ...

In healthy people, binding of the molecule acetylcholine (ACh) to its receptor (AChR) on skeletal muscle cells triggers muscle contraction underlying regular daily activities. In the autoimmune ...
