Severe drug-induced repetitive behaviors and striatal overexpression of VAChT in ChAT-ChR2-EYFP BAC transgenic mice

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2014
In drug users, drug-related cues alone can induce dopamine release in the dorsal striatum. Instructive cues activate inputs to the striatum from both dopaminergic and cholinergic neurons, which are thought to work together to support motor learning and ...

Cholinergic cells in the nucleus basalis of mice express the N-methyl-D-aspartate-receptor subunit NR2C and its replacement by the NR2B subunit enhances frontal and amygdaloid acetylcholine levels [PDF]

, 2006
It is known that glutamatergic and cholinergic systems interact functionally at the level of the cholinergic basal forebrain. The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA-R) is a multiprotein complex composed of NR1, NR2 and/or NR3 subunits.

Toxic Effect of Cigarette Smoke on Brainstem Nicotinic Receptor Expression: Primary Cause of Sudden Unexplained Perinatal Death

Toxics, 2018
Among the neurotoxicants contained in tobacco smoke, if absorbed during pregnancy, nicotine significantly affects α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which play essential roles in the development of the brainstem regions receiving cholinergic ...

N‐Amino Peptide–Graphene Quantum Dot Loaded Small Extracellular Vesicles for Targeted Therapy of Tauopathies

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
A neuron‐targeting drug delivery system is developed by incorporating the tau‐specific N‐amino peptide, mxyl‐NAP2, with graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and encapsulating the complex into small extracellular vesicles functionalized with a neuron‐targeting ligand.

X-ray structure of the human α4β2 nicotinic receptor

Nature, 2016
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that mediate fast chemical neurotransmission at the neuromuscular junction and have diverse signalling roles in the central nervous system. The nicotinic receptor has been a model system for
