(1999)We have recently reported that application of acetylcholine (ACh) or nicotine to the petrosal ganglion - the sensory ganglion of the glossopharyngeal nerve - elicits a burst of discharges in the carotid nerve branch, ...
-
(2012)The carotid bodies (CBs) are chemosensory organs that respond to hypoxemia with transmitter neurosecretion, leading to a respiratory reflex response. It has been proposed that acetylcholine is a key regulator of transmitter ...

(2009)This study reports the comparative molecular modeling, docking and dynamic simulations of human α9α10 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors complexed with acetylcholine, nicotine and α-conotoxin RgIA, using as templates the ...
-
(1998)The petrosal ganglion innervates carotid body chemoreceptors through the carotid (sinus) nerve. These primary sensory neurons are activated by transmitters released from receptor (glomus) cells, acetylcholine (ACh) having ...

(Frontiers Media, 2020)Successful completion of sensory decision-making requires focusing on relevant stimuli, adequate signal/noise ratio for stimulus discrimination, and stimulus valence evaluation. Different brain regions are postulated to ...
