Intracellular mechanisms underlying the nicotinic enhancement of LTP in the rat dentate gyrus [PDF]

, 2008
We have previously shown that activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) enhanced long-term potentiation (LTP) in the rat dentate gyrus in vitro via activation of α7 nAChR. In the present studies, mechanisms underlying the acute and chronic

Cloning and characterization of the hamster and guinea pig nicotinic acid receptors

Journal of Lipid Research, 2007
In this study, we present the identification and characterization of hamster and guinea pig nicotinic acid receptors. The hamster receptor shares ∼80–90% identity with the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of human, mouse, and rat receptors. The guinea
