These results indicate that medial septal NK(2)-R have an important role in mediating acetylcholine release, for one, via the septal-hippocampal cholinergic projection and, secondly, via direct or indirect route to the amygdala, but not frontal cortex.
Title: Neurokinin2-R in medial septum regulate hippocampal and amygdalar ACh release induced by intraseptal application of neurokinins A and B.
Data show that injection of vehicle alone into the medial septum impaired memory for temporal order and spatial location, while the NK(2) receptor antagonist partially reversed this deficit by reinstating memory for temporal order.

Results suggest that the changes in tachykinin and receptor localization during colitis emphasize their role in both acute and repair phases.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
