“…Striatal ChIs appear to support synaptic plasticity and cognitive functions, mediated by the dorsal striatum such as attention, and motivation (Bohnen and Albin, 2011;Deffains and Bergman, 2015;Aarsland, 2016;Aarsland et al, 2017;Schapira et al, 2017a). ChIs and DA work together to regulate motor function and represent good targets to alleviate PD symptoms (Ztaou and Amalric, 2019). In the striatum, ChIs express the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs; M1/M5) as well as various subtypes of nAChRs, composed mainly of α4, α6, α7, β2, and β3 subunits, with the primary expression of the α4β2 and α6β2 receptors (Quik and Wonnacott, 2011).…”
