Studies of the structure and function of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs)
evolved out of studies of muscle AChRs. This review will begin with a brief summary of …

In the vertebrate retina, visual signals are segregated into parallel ON and OFF pathways,
which provide information for light increments and decrements. The segregation is first …

that influence refractive development. methods. White leghorn chicks, some of which wore a …

The purpose of this study was to characterize the distribution of muscarinic acetylcholine
receptors (mAChRs) in the ocular tissues of hatched chicks. In the chick, different isoforms of …

Cholinergic regulation of the activity of rabbit retinal ganglion cells and displaced amacrine
cells was investigated using optical recording of changes in intracellular free calcium …

Several neurotransmitter systems have been related to developmental processes during the
past decade. In this review, we discuss the evidence that the nicotinic acetylcholine …

Immunohistochemical methods were used to study the possible co-localization of two α-
bungarotoxin-sensitive (α7 and α8) and two α-bungarotoxin-insensitive (β2 and α3) subunits …

As a part of ongoing efforts to understand the cholinergic circuitry in the mammalian retina,
we studied the coexpression of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) and gamma …

The development of cells containing neuronal nicotinic receptors (nAChRs) in the chick
retina was investigated by means of immunohistochemical techniques with antibodies …

Nicotinic receptors are present in the retina of different vertebrates, and in the chick retina, it
is present during early development throughout to post-hatching. These receptors are …
