Mechanisms of Chronic Nicotine Treatment–Induced Enhancement of the Sensitivity of Cortical Neurons to the Neuroprotective Effect of Donepezil in Cortical Neurons

We have previously shown that chronic donepezil treatment induces nicotinic acetylcholine receptor up-regulation and enhances the sensitivity of the neurons to the neuroprotective effect of donepezil. Further analyses revealed that the nicotinic receptor is involved in this enhancement. In this stud...
