Epibatidine Induces Long-Term Potentiation (LTP) via Activation of α4β2 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors (nAChRs) In Vivo in the Intact Mouse Dentate Gyrus: Both α7 and α4β2 nAChRs Essential to Nicotinic LTP
ABSTRACT: Activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) induces nocotinic long-term potentiation (LTPn) in vivo in the mouse dentate gyrus. We have found that α4β2 nAChRs activated by epibatidine induce LTPn, the full size of which requires the involvement of α4β2 and α7 nAChRs, in the in...
