Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunits in autism: an immunohistochemical investigation in the thalamus

Neurobiology of Disease, 2005
The cholinergic system has been implicated in the development of autism on the basis of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) losses in cerebral and cerebellar cortex.

AChBP-targeted alpha-conotoxin correlates distinct binding orientations with nAChR subtype selectivity [PDF]

, 2007
Neuronal nAChRs are a diverse family of pentameric ion channels with wide distribution throughout cells of the nervous and immune systems. However, the role of specific subtypes in normal and pathological states remains poorly understood due to the lack ...

Unique nicotinic responses are present in distinct subtypes of mouse medial prefrontal layer V pyramidal neurons

Scientific Reports
The neurotransmitter acetylcholine supports goal-directed cognitive functions via activation of its nicotinic and muscarinic classes of receptors within the prefrontal cortex.

Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors are Possible Therapeutic Targets for Schizophrenia [PDF]

, 2010
The rate of smoking in patients with schizophrenia is higher than that in the general population. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) are involved in the sensorimotor gating deficits in schizophrenia.

The role of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in central cardiovascular regulation. [PDF]

, 2007
The central effect of nicotine on cardiovascular regulation has been extensively studied. However, due to its unselective nature for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) the involvement of specific nAChRs at sites in the brain, in central nervous ...

α7-Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor: role in early odor learning preference in mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Recently, we have shown that mice with decreased expression of α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7) in the olfactory bulb were associated with a deficit in odor discrimination compared to wild-type mice. However, it is unknown if mice with decreased

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Assessment of Novel Vanillin-Isoxazole Derivatives as Positive Allosteric Modulators of α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor

Chemistry Proceedings, 2023
The homomeric α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR) is a cation-permeable pentameric ligand-gated channel present in the nervous system and non-neuronal cells.

Adipose‐derived mesenchymal stem cell injection into the KI10 acupoint mitigates cartilage damage in KOA rats through PGE2‐mediated α7nAChR/NF‐κB pathway

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 9, Issue 9, Page 1828-1848, September 2026.
In our research, KOA rat models were established and treated with ADSC injection into the KI10 acupoint. Pain relief, behavioral function, and joint structural improvements were systematically assessed using ethological tests, imaging, histopathological staining, transmission electron microscopy, and molecular analyses.

Inhibition of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, a novel facet in the pleiotropic activities of snake venom phospholipases A2.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Phospholipases A2 represent the most abundant family of snake venom proteins. They manifest an array of biological activities, which is constantly expanding. We have recently shown that a protein bitanarin, isolated from the venom of the puff adder Bitis
