Description

Cholinergic Receptors are a type of Neurotransmitter Receptor located on the Postsynaptic Cleft of Neurons.

Biological Function of Cholinergic Receptors

Nervous System

 Cholinergic Receptors are responsible for receiving Acetylcholine from the Presynaptic Clefts of other Neurons.

These Substances may Enhance the Function of Cholinergic Receptors

Alkaloids

 Caffeine may increase the number of Cholinergic Receptors in the Brain.  [1]

 Galanthamine may stimulate Cholinergic Receptors (it functions as a Cholinergic agonist).  [2] 

Amino Acids

 Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) may reverse the age-related decline that occurs in Cholinergic Receptors.  [3] 

Smart Drugs

 Hydergine may increase the number of Muscarinic Cholinergic Receptors in the Hippocampus of the Brain (especially in elderly people).  [4]
