Although the neuronal nicotinic receptor a6 subunit was cloned several years ago, its
functional significance remains to be investigated. Here we describe an in situ hybridization …

PARTICIPATION of the neuronal nicotinic receptor subunit α6 in a physiologically relevant
receptor has yet to be demonstrated, but its high degree of expression in catecholaminergic …

The cellular localization of transcripts for a new putative agonist-binding subunit of the
neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), α5, was examined using in situ …

In the autonomic nervous system efferent signals are relayed in sympathetic and
parasympathetic ganglia. Fast synaptic transmission between pre‐and postsynaptic neurons …

Nicotinic receptors are implicated in memory, learning, locomotor activity, and addiction.
Identification of the specific receptor subtypes that mediate these behaviors is essential for …

Previous binding studies have suggested the presence of a so far unknown nicotinic
acetylcholine receptor subunit in dorsal root ganglia (Pugh et al., 1995). Here, we …

The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) α2 subunit was the first neuronal nAChR to be
cloned. However, data for the distribution of α2 mRNA in the rodent exists in only a few …

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

A new subunit, g2, of the neuronal nicotinic receptor family has been identified. This subunit
has the structural features of a non-agonist-binding subunit. We provide evidence that p2 …

The distribution of α7 messenger RNA expression was characterized in developing rat
cortex and thalamus. Northern blot analysis of neonatal and adult cortex revealed a single …
