Dual role of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the retrosplenial cortex for aversive memory acquisition and retrieval

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience
In the retrosplenial cortex (RSC), the role of cholinergic modulation via α7 nicotinic receptors and their involvement in memory is unknown. In recent years, the RSC has been shown to deteriorate in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Likewise,

Cholinergic Modulation of Locomotion and Striatal Dopamine Release Is Mediated by α6α4* Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors [PDF]

, 2010
Dopamine (DA) release in striatum is governed by firing rates of midbrain DA neurons, striatal cholinergic tone, and nicotinic ACh receptors (nAChRs) on DA presynaptic terminals.
