Distribution and effects of the muscarinic receptor subtypes in the primary visual cortex

Distribution and effects of the muscarinic receptor subtypes in the primary visual cortex

Muscarinic cholinergic receptors modulate the activity and plasticity of the visual cortex. Muscarinic receptors are divided into 5 subtypes that are not homogeneously distributed throughout the cortical layers and cells types. This distribution results in complex action of the muscarinic receptors...
