“…There is a substantial body of evidence to support the view that botulinum toxins act on cholinergic nerve endings in the peripheral nervous system but not on the central nervous system. This causes paralysis of both autonomic and neuromuscular transmission (Simpson 1977). The basis for this pathological effect is generally accepted to be due to prevention of release of acetylcholine from cholinergic nerve endings.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
