Neuronal nicotinic receptors (NAChRs) form a heterogeneous family of ion channels that are
differently expressed in many regions of the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral …

Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are a family of ligand gated ion
channels which are widely distributed in the human brain. Multiple subtypes of these …

This study tests the hypothesis that nicotinic cholinergic receptors, including those sensitive
to the antagonist α-bungarotoxin, are decreased in the hippocampus of schizophrenics. The …

Inheritance of a defect in a neuronal mechanism that regulates response to auditory stimuli
was studied in nine families with multiple cases of schizophrenia. The defect, a decrease in …

A series of human and animal investigations has suggested that altered expression and
function of the α7-nicotinic cholinergic receptor may be responsible for the auditory sensory …

The neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the brain are important for
functional processes, including cognitive and memory functions. The nAChRs acting as …

Nicotine is a very widely used drug of abuse, which exerts a number of neurovegetative,
behavioural and psychological effects by interacting with neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine …

Rationale and objective Auditory sensory gating, a biological measurement of the ability to
suppress the evoked response to the second of two auditory stimuli, is diminished in people …

OBJECTIVE: Measures of cholinergic transmitter activity were investigated in patients with
autism because of reported neuropathological abnormalities in cholinergic nuclei in the …

Autism is a common developmental disorder associated with structural and inferred
neurochemical abnormalities of the brain. Cerebellar abnormalities frequently have been …
