title: The binding properties of muscarinic receptors in the brain of the frog (R. temporaria).
abstract: The antagonist and agonist binding properties of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors on membranes derived from the frog (R. temporaria) brain are very similar to those found for the muscarinic receptors of the mammalian brain. The highest concentrations of receptor are found in the optic tectum and diencephalon; the lowest levels in the hindbrain, spinal cord and retina.
