Cellular mechanisms of presynaptic nAChR-mediated excitatory amino acid release from rat prefrontal cortex

Nicotine-mediated activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) located in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) has been associated with the augmentation of attention and working memory. Whilst studies have implicated a.7 and p2* nAChRs in nicotine-elicited cognitive enhancement, the cellular mech...
