description

The release of acetylcholine from central and peripheral neurones can be inhibited and facilitated by muscarine autoreceptors, i.e. receptors located on the cholinergic neurone. In the last few years evidence has accumulated that muscarine receptors are heterogeneous. This chapter describes attempts that have been made to classify the muscarine autoreceptors. In addition, some possible mechanisms behind the neuronal muscarine receptors are examined.
