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 …

The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR) is highly expressed in the brain, where it
maintains various neuronal functions including (but not limited to) learning and memory. In …

Previous molecular cloning studies have revealed that α‐bungarotoxin binding proteins
present in the brain are members of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene …

The alpha-bungarotoxin-binding acetylcholine receptors from the human neuroblastoma cell
line SH-SY5Y were found to cross-react with some monoclonal antibodies to alpha 7 …

Initiated by findings that Alzheimer's disease is associated with a profound loss of
cholinergic markers in human brain, decades of studies have examined the interactions …

SUMMARY a8 subunits of a-bungarotoxin-sensitive chick neuronal nicotinic acetyicholine
receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes from cRNA are shown to form homomenc …

Obesity has reached pandemic proportions and is associated with severe comorbidities,
such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, hepatic and cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancer …

Objective: To test the hypothesis that systemically administered neuromuscular blocking
drugs acutely alter resting pupil size or the direct reflex response to light in anesthetized …

Melatonin, the darkness hormone, synchronizes several physiological functions to light/dark
cycle. Besides the awake/sleep cycle that is intuitively linked to day/night, daily variations in …

Many studies of the α7 subunit of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR)
family have demonstrated that this α-bungarotoxin (α-BgTx)-binding neuronal receptor can …
