Recovery of hippocampal functions and modulation of muscarinic response by electroacupuncture in young diabetic rats

Abstract The muscarinic receptor response to acetylcholine regulates the hippocampal-related learning, memory, neural plasticity and the production and processing of the pro-nerve growth factor (proNGF) by hippocampal cells. The development and progression of diabetes generate a mild cognitive impai...
