Cholinergic Actions in MOB Only limited information is available about cholinergic actions in MOB. Electrical activation of NDB has been reported to depress (Nickell and Shipley, 1988a) or increase (Kunze et al., 1991, 1992) mitral cell activity indirectly via primary effects on GABAergic GCs. NDB stimulation also reduced the field potential in the MOB caused by stimulation of the anterior commissure (Nickell and Shipley, 1993), an effect mediated by presynaptic inhibition of anterior commissure terminals via muscarinic receptors. One interpretation of these results is that cholinergic input to MOB may function to modulate interhemispheric transmission of olfactory information. In this regard, it is noteworthy that anterior commissural fibers are required for access and recall of olfactory memories between the two hemispheres. Infusion of ACh into MOB was reported to reduce paired-pulse depression of lateral olfactory tract (LOT)-evoked field potentials recorded in the GCL. This effect was attributed to... 

The pyridine and pyrrolidine alkaloid nicotine (28) (occurs in Nicotiana species [Solanaceae]) has shown numerous mechanistic effects relevant to neurodegenerative diseases. Nicotine can modulate cholinergic transmission via interaction with nAChRs, but may be more effective for attention deficits rather than memory, and more effective for MCI due to preservation of nAQiRs compared to AD [3]. In addition to effects on cognitive functions in vivo, nicotine inhibits amyloidogenesis at different stages, is neuroprotective, upregulates nerve growth...
