Nicotinic Receptors in the Medial Habenula to Interpeduncular Nucleus Pathway: Modulators of Reward, Aversion and Emotion

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 62, Issue 11, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The medial habenula–interpeduncular nucleus pathway is a highly conserved and densely innervated brain circuit known for its unique cholinergic transmission and exceptional expression of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. This pathway plays a critical role in regulating motivational and emotional processes, particularly those related to ...

Solution structure of mu-conotoxin PIIIA, a preferential inhibitor of persistent tetrodotoxin-sensitive sodium channels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Mu-conotoxins are peptide inhibitors of voltage-sensitive sodium channels (VSSCs). Synthetic forms of mu-conotoxins PIIIA and PIIIA-(2-22) were found to inhibit tetrodotoxin (TTX)-sensitive VSSC current but had little effect on TTX-resistant VSSC current
