a(MESH:"Corpus Striatum")
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
Among the mAChR family members, the M1 subtype makes up 50–60% of the total and is predominantly expressed in all major areas of the forebrain, including the hippocampus, cerebral cortex, corpus striatum, and thalamus[36-38]. M1 mAChR-knockout mice show a series of cognitive defi cits and impairments in long-term potentiation, indicating that the M1 subtype is physiologically linked to multiple functions such as synaptic plasticity, neuronal excitability, neuronal differentiation during early development, and learning and memory PubMed:24590577
M4 mAChR is mainly expressed in the corpus striatum in the CNS and on various prejunctional nerve terminals in the periphery. M4 mAChR has been suggested to play a role in psychosis and to be a promising target for the treatment of schizophrenia[52]. Indeed, the mixed M1/M4 mAChR agonist xanomeline has antipsychotic effects, and M4 mAChR-knockout mice display increased sensitivity to the disruptive effects of phencyclidine, a drug of abuse PubMed:24590577
The most intense accumulation of 5-I-A-85380 was detected in both thalami, pons and midbrain, and both nuclei lentiformes PubMed:24762290
