Chapter 8 Nicotinic receptors of the vertebrate CNS: introductory remarks
1996
Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the nicotinic receptors of the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS). In vertebrates, nicotinic cholinergic neurotransmission is found in both the CNS and the periphery (muscle endplate). Although muscle and neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) have evolved from a common ancestor, it is striking that the muscle receptor has remained rather stable in evolution, whereas the neuronal receptor has evolved to a wide diversity of subtypes. As an attractive hypothesis, neurotransmitters and neurohormones may not only interact with their archetypic cognate receptors but also with other neuroreceptor, albeit in a modulatory fashion. By modula…
