Walker N, Yan Y, Tapia M, Tucker B, Thomas L, George B, et al.
eNeuro
. 2023 May;
10(5).
PMID: 37193602
Mesolimbic nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChRs) activation is necessary for nicotine reinforcement behavior, but it is unknown whether selective activation of nAChRs in the dopamine (DA) reward pathway is sufficient to...

eNeuro
. 2019 Nov;
6(6).
PMID: 31744841
Ventral tegmental area (VTA) neurons receive glutamatergic and/or GABAergic input from other local neurons within the VTA. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) activity is capable of modulating such intra-VTA transmission, but...

Arvin M, Jin X, Yan Y, Wang Y, Ramsey M, Kim V, et al.
J Neurosci
. 2019 Mar;
39(22):4268-4281.
PMID: 30867261
Antagonism of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the medial habenula (MHb) or interpeduncular nucleus (IPN) triggers withdrawal-like behaviors in mice chronically exposed to nicotine, implying that nicotine dependence involves the...

Cell Rep
. 2018 May;
23(8):2236-2244.
PMID: 29791835
Ventral tegmental area (VTA) glutamate neurons are important components of reward circuitry, but whether they are subject to cholinergic modulation is unknown. To study this, we used molecular, physiological, and...

Eur J Neurosci
. 2018 May;
50(3):2224-2238.
PMID: 29779223
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), prototype members of the cys-loop ligand-gated ion channel family, are key mediators of cholinergic transmission in the central nervous system. Despite their importance, technical gaps exist...

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2017 Oct;
114(41):E8750-E8759.
PMID: 28973852
The basolateral amygdala (BLA) sends excitatory projections to the nucleus accumbens (NAc) and regulates motivated behaviors partially by activating NAc medium spiny neurons (MSNs). Here, we characterized a feedforward inhibition...

PLoS One
. 2017 Aug;
12(7):e0182142.
PMID: 28759616
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors containing α4 subunits (α4β2* nAChRs) are critical for nicotinic cholinergic transmission and the addictive action of nicotine. To identify specific activities of these receptors in the adult...

Neuropsychopharmacology
. 2016 Apr;
41(9):2399-410.
PMID: 27074816
Exposure to cocaine induces addiction-associated behaviors partially through remodeling neurocircuits in the nucleus accumbens (NAc). The paraventricular nucleus of thalamus (PVT), which projects to the NAc monosynaptically, is activated by...

PMID: 23145210
Extinction bursts are characterized by a temporary increase in responding when drug access is withheld from rats trained to self-administer drugs of abuse. Thus far, one study has examined extinction...
