Abstract
The influence of neocortical muscarinic transmission on auditory-evoked 40-Hz magnetic response was studied in 13 healthy subjects in a double-blind randomized cross-over design. Either a centrally (scopolamine hydrobromide, 0.3 mg, i.v.) or a peripherally (glycopyrrolate, 0.2 mg, i.v.) acting antagonist of muscarinic transmission was administered during two sessions of magnetoencephalographic recording of 40-Hz response elicited by monaural tones. Scopolamine significantly (P < 0.01) augmented the 40-Hz magnetic response over the hemispheres ipsi- and contralateral to the ear stimulated. This finding suggests muscarinic modulation of the auditory evoked transient 40-Hz response.Entities:
