Description
Muscarinic Receptors are a sub-type of Cholinergic Receptors.
These Substances may Influence Muscarinic Receptors
Neurotransmitters
Acetylcholine is the primary Neurotransmitter that binds to and stimulates Muscarinic Receptors.
Prescribed Medications
Muscarinic Cholinoceptor Agonists stimulate Muscarinic Receptors.
Recreational Drugs
Anticholinergic Psychedelic Drugs (e.g. Atropine, Scopolamine) prevent Acetylcholine from binding to Muscarinic Receptors.
Smart Drugs
Hydergine may increase the number of Muscarinic Receptors in the Hippocampus region of the Brain (especially in elderly people). [1]
