Calcium-dependent regulation of cholinergic cell phenotype in the hypothalamus in vitro.

Abstract excerpt

Glutamate is a major fast excitatory neurotransmitter in the CNS including the hypothalamus. Our previous experiments in hypothalamic neuronal cultures showed that a long-term decrease in glutamate excitation upregulates ACh excitatory transmission. Data suggested that in the absence of glutamate activity in the hypothalamus in vitro, ACh becomes the major excitatory neurotransmitter and supports the...
