PMID: 31194549
Pharmacologically distinguishing α3β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) from closely related subtypes, particularly α6β2, has been challenging due to the lack of subtype-selective ligands. We created analogs of α-conotoxin (α-Ctx) PeIA...

PMID: 30845161
Central nervous system nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) are predominantly of the α4β2 subtype. Two isoforms exist, with high or low agonist sensitivity (HS-(α4β2)2β2- and LS-(α4β2)2α4-nAChR). Both isoforms exhibit similar macroscopic...

PMID: 30837868
Alpha6-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are primarily found in neurons of the midbrain dopaminergic (DA) system, suggesting these receptors are potentially involved in drug reward and dependence. Here, we report a...

PMID: 29795357
Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors containing α6 subunits (α6-nAChRs) show highly restricted distribution in midbrain neurons associated with pleasure, reward, and mood control, suggesting an important impact of α6-nAChRs in modulating...
