Cholinergic agents are compounds which mimic the action of acetylcholine and/or butyrylcholine. [1] In general, the word "choline" describes the various quaternary ammonium salts containing the N,N,N-trimethylethanolammonium cation.

This is a set category.It should only contain pages that are agonists of cholinergic receptors or lists of agonists of cholinergic receptors, as well as subcategories containing those things (themselves set categories).
Nicotinic receptors can also be found in different synaptic locations; for example the muscle nicotinic receptor always functions post-synaptically. The neuronal forms of the receptor can be found both post-synaptically (involved in classical neurotransmission) and pre-synaptically [ 34 ] where they can influence the release of multiple ...
