Arecoline hydrobromide is a compound used in neuroscience and cognitive research due to its activity as a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist. This activity makes it useful for studying cholinergic neurotransmission and its effects on cognitive functions and behavior in various experimental models. In addition, Arecoline hydrobromide is used in the investigation of memory and learning processes, as the modulation of muscarinic receptors is known to play a role in these neural activities. It is also applied in studies that explore the signaling mechanisms underlying muscarinic receptor activation and the subsequent cellular responses. Furthermore, researchers utilize Arecoline hydrobromide in agricultural studies to understand the biological effects of areca nut components on pest organisms.
