Blocking of the function of neurotransmitter receptors by insecticidal peptide toxins resulted in identification of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunits through native ligand-binding investigations.

In vivo deconstruction of reward-related behaviors with circuit and pharmacological specificity using designer, light-controllable nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.

Cryo-EM structures of Cys-loop receptor Alpo4 from the thermophilic worm Alvinella pompejana show that a sterol derivative CHAPS binds in and outside of its orthosteric binding site and induces a quaternary twist.

Signaling through nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in enterocytes impacts barrier integrity in the Drosophila intestine by regulating formation of the peritrophic matrix.

Acetylcholine, released from cholinergic fibers originating from the medial septum, shapes social memory, and controls the CA2 hippocampal circuit via nicotinic receptors localized on GABAergic interneurons.

A circuit within the nucleus accumbens that exists during a specific developmental window through early adolescence male rats may serve as a substrate that underlies heightened reward seeking in this population.

Autoantibodies from myasthenia gravis patients bind a common core region on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor through a largely conserved mechanism.

We are writing to comment on the article by Mohebi et al., 2023: we show that blue light alters the fluorescent properties of a genetically-encoded dopamine sensor in a manner that may be misconstrued as phasic dopamine release.

Local elimination of acetylcholine synthesis in habenular neurons demonstrates a key role for vesicular synergy and neurotransmitter co-release in nicotine dependence.

Neuronal activity triggers the dispersal of the Golgi into dendritic Golgi satellites, leading to reshaping of the neuronal surface glycoproteome through processing of glycans to mature, sialic acid-containing forms.
