The Institute for Behavioral Genetics has the world's most complete collection of mouse strains that have been engineered to express mutations in nicotinic cholinergic receptor (nAChR) subunit genes.

A University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) study proves that the WIN55.212-2 drug protects the brain and reverses the initial cognitive damage caused by dementia, and explains how it works ...

Our recent work (McQuail & Burk, 2006) suggests that cholinergic muscarinic receptors, particularly the muscarinic M1 receptor, are important for mediating the effects of the cortical acetylcholine on ...
