Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have uncovered new insights into the mechanisms underlying autism spectrum disorder (ASD ...

Additional studies in collaboration with Ibañez-Tallon showed that lynx-1 altered the function of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that helps to activate muscles ...

The neuromuscular junction contains three types of nicotinic receptors. Two are on the muscle surface (one is junctional and the other extrajunctional), and the third is on the parasympathetic ...

Neuroscientist Janna Moen, PhD, never expected her doctoral research on nicotinic receptor pharmacology to intersect so ...

2005, Nature Genetics, 37:894-898). Nicotinic receptors: characterized the molecular biology of nicotinic receptors and the behavioral consequences of their genetic variation in animal models, and ...

Nicotine, a major component of tobacco smoke, could exert either nonreceptor-mediated biological effects or, more importantly, act on the different subtypes of nicotinic brain receptors ...

To understand at the molecular level how genetic variability, particularly with respect to nicotinic receptor genes, influences risk for drug dependence and co-morbid psychiatric disorders. Current ...

ZUNVEYL’s active metabolite is differentiated from donepezil and rivastigmine in that it improves the function of neuronal nicotinic receptors, most notably the alpha-7 subtype, which is known ...
