Characterization of nicotine acetylcholine receptor subunits in the cockroach Periplaneta americana mushroom bodies reveals a strong expression of β1 subunit: involvement in nicotine-induced currents [PDF]
, 2016 Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are ligand-gated ion channels expressed in many insect structures, such as mushroom bodies, in which they play a central role.

Structure of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1993 Nicotinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptors convert the binding of ACh into the opening of a cation-conducting channel. New information about the regions of the receptor most immediately involved in its function, namely the ACh-binding sites, the gate and the channel, has come from two approaches.

Lateral Habenula contribution in Nicotine addiction : focus on Dopamine, GABA and Serotonin Interactions [PDF]
, 2011 Compelling evidence has shown a pivotal role of dopaminergic function in drug addiction. Recently, the Habenula (Hb) has attracted a great deal of attention as another target for nicotine in the brain because of its role in regulating dopamine (DA ...

Mutations in M2 alter the selectivity of the mouse nicotinic acetylcholine receptor for organic and alkali metal cations [PDF]
, 1992 We measured the permeability ratios (PX/PNa) of 3 wild-type, 1 hybrid, 2 subunit-deficient, and 22 mutant nicotinic receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes for alkali metal and organic cations using shifts in the bi-ionic reversal potential of the ...

Activity of nAChRs containing α9 subunits modulates synapse stabilization via bidirectional signaling programs [PDF]
, 2009 Although the synaptogenic program for cholinergic synapses of the neuromuscular junction is well known, little is known of the identity or dynamic expression patterns of proteins involved in non-neuromuscular nicotinic synapse development.

Clinical Pharmacology in Drug Development, EarlyView.Abstract BNC210 is an investigational small molecule selective negative allosteric modulator of the alpha‐7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR). It is an anxiolytic compound with a novel mechanism of action. In a series of Phase 1 clinical trials in healthy volunteers, psychometric test batteries showed that BNC210 did not cause attention ...
