α7-nAChR CNiFER: PNU-120596 activation and methyllycaconitine antagonism.

, 2013
A. Concentration dependent response of PNU-120596 incubated for 30 minutes on α7-nAChR CNiFERs and stimulated with 0.1 µM (±)-epibatidine. The response curve shows that concentrations greater than 10 µM PNU-120596 would produce a maximal response.

α7 Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-specific antibody induces inflammation and amyloid β42 accumulation in the mouse brain to impair memory.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) expressed in the brain are involved in regulating cognitive functions, as well as inflammatory reactions. Their density is decreased upon Alzheimer disease accompanied by accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ42), memory

Smoking Abstinence Elicits Hyperalgesia: Neural Mechanism, Clinical Implications, and Pharmacological Managements

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
The cycle between nicotine use and pain modulation. Cigarette smoking leads to nicotine entering the body, which binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the brain, triggering the release of different neurotransmitters, including dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE), serotonin (5‐HT), and GABA.

α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor: From Structural Mechanisms to Therapeutic Translation

Shengwu huaxue yu shengwu wuli jinzhan
The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR) is a ligand-gated ion channel characterized by high Ca2+ permeability, rapid activation, and rapid desensitization. It is widely expressed in the nervous system and various non-neuronal cell types.

Advances in Targeting Central Cholinergic Dysfunction for Neurodegenerative Diseases: From Pharmacotherapy to Neuromodulation

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
This review charts the evolution of cholinergic therapies for neurodegenerative diseases—from classical acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) providing symptomatic relief to precision multi‐target drugs and neuromodulation (VNS, DBS, NIBS) that restore dysfunctional circuits. Emerging gene therapy, cell regeneration, and advanced cholinergic imaging

Effects of galantamine on social interaction impairments in cholecystokinin receptor-2 overexpression mice

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2022
We examined whether galantamine (GAL), a cholinesterase inhibitor and allosteric potentiating ligand for α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), had an impact on emotional abnormalities in forebrain-specific cholecystokinin receptor-2 overexpressed ...

Cancer Neuroscience: From Local Neuro–Immune Microenvironments to Systemic Brain–Body Circuitry

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
This review outlines the cancer neuroscience paradigm, spanning systemic brain–body circuitry and local neuro–immune–tumor microenvironments. We discuss how tumors promote axonogenesis and pseudo‐synapse formation, and how sensory neuropeptides, such as CGRP, contribute to CD8+ T‐cell exhaustion.

α7 and β2 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subunits Form Heteromeric Receptor Complexes that Are Expressed in the Human Cortex and Display Distinct Pharmacological Properties.

PLoS ONE, 2015
The existence of α7β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) has recently been demonstrated in both the rodent and human brain. Since α7-containing nAChRs are promising drug targets for schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease, it is critical to ...
