a(MESH:Hippocampus) association p(HGNC:CHRM2) View Subject | View Object

M2 mAChR is expressed throughout the brain, including the hippocampus and neocortex, and is abundant in non-cholinergic neurons that project to these areas. In the caudate-putamen, M2 mAChR acts as an inhibitory modulator on dopaminergic terminals[46-48]. PubMed:24590577

M2 mAChR is expressed throughout the brain, including the hippocampus and neocortex, and is abundant in non-cholinergic neurons that project to these areas. In the caudate-putamen, M2 mAChR acts as an inhibitory modulator on dopaminergic terminals[46-48]. PubMed:24590577

Moreover, the use of M2 antagonists, such as SCH-57790 and SC-72788, can lead to blockage of M2-mediated inhibition of presynaptic release of ACh, which can activate M1 and nicotinic receptors, ameliorating cognitive impairment in AD PubMed:26813123

In addition, activation of M2 receptors can cause an increase in Aβ production PubMed:26813123
