Distribution of α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subunit mRNA in the Developing Mouse. [PDF]

, 2019
Homomeric α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are abundantly expressed in the central and peripheral nervous system (CNS and PNS, respectively), and spinal cord.

Live-Cell Imaging of Single Receptor Composition Using Zero-Mode Waveguide Nanostructures [PDF]

, 2012
We exploit the optical and spatial features of subwavelength nanostructures to examine individual receptors on the plasma membrane of living cells. Receptors were sequestered in portions of the membrane projected into zero-mode waveguides.

Pharmacological and Mechanistic Interventions for Cognitive Impairment Associated With Schizophrenia: A Review of Registered Clinical Trials

Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Schizophrenia is characterized by positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms. Current pharmacological treatments often fail to address cognitive deficits. In this review of clinical trials, we aim to identify studies that explore neurobiological (non‐psychological) strategies to address Cognitive Impairment Associated with ...

Thiol-reactive analogues of galanthamine, codeine and morphine as potential probes to interrogate allosteric binding within nAChRs [PDF]

, 2016
Alkaloids including galanthamine (1) and codeine (2) are reported to be positive allosteric modulators of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) but the binding sites responsible for this activity are not known with certainty.

Varenicline for cannabis use disorder: A randomized controlled trial

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Although cannabis use is widespread and prevalence of cannabis use disorder (CUD) is increasing, limited advancements have been made in CUD medication development. The objective of this study was to test the efficacy of varenicline with medical management for reducing cannabis use in treatment‐seeking individuals with CUD ...

Monkey adrenal chromaffin cells express α6β4* nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) that contain α6 and β4 subunits have been demonstrated functionally in human adrenal chromaffin cells, rat dorsal root ganglion neurons, and on noradrenergic terminals in the hippocampus of adolescent mice.

Dopamine D_2-receptor activation elicits akinesia, rigidity, catalepsy, and tremor in mice expressing hypersensitive 4 nicotinic receptors via a cholinergic-dependent mechanism [PDF]

, 2010
Recent studies suggest that high-affinity neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) containing α4 and β2 subunits (α4β2*) functionally interact with G-protein-coupled dopamine (DA) D_2 receptors in basal ganglia.

Personalizing smoking cessation pharmacotherapy using neuroaffective reactivity profiles: A randomized controlled trial

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims By assessing neuroaffective response to motivationally relevant cues before a quit attempt, we have shown that smokers who attribute greater incentive salience to cigarette‐related cues than non‐cigarette‐related rewards (Sign‐trackers, ST) benefit more from varenicline compared with smokers with the opposite neuroaffective
