Other levels of regulation of dopaminergic transmission arise from alpha7 nAChRs located on cortical glutamatergic terminals; activation of these receptors increases glutamate release onto dopaminergic neurons in the VTA and, consequently, increases the their firing (344). PubMed:19126755

act(p(HGNCGENEFAMILY:"Cholinergic receptors nicotinic subunits")) regulates bp(GO:"synaptic transmission, dopaminergic") View Subject | View Object

In the basal ganglia, for instance, dopaminergic transmission is ultimately regulated by the activity of specific nAChR subtypes in different neurons and neuronal compartments (Fig. 5). Thus evidence exists that in the VTA,alpha6- andalpha4-containing nAChRs are mainly located on dopaminergic nerve terminals, whereas alpha7 nAChRs are primarily expressed on the soma of dopaminergic neurons (Fig. 5).

p(HGNC:CHRM4) regulates bp(GO:"synaptic transmission, dopaminergic") View Subject | View Object

The M4 receptor is highly expressed in the striatum, hippocampus, and neocortex,45,46 suggesting that this mAChR subtype is ideally located to modulate dopaminergic signaling. In support of this hypothesis, M4 KO mice exhibit a hyperdopaminergic phenotype that is resistant to mAChR agonist-induced attenuation of dopamine levels. PubMed:24511233

It has been postulated that the loss of cholinergic neurons and the consequent impairment in dopaminergic transmission could be the main factors underling AD-related psychiatric symptoms PubMed:26813123

In PD, the main neuropathological feature is the progressive death of neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta with resulting loss of dopaminergic innervation of the striatum. PubMed:14556719
