Abstract

Upregulation of binding to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) is observed in the brains of both smokers and animals chronically exposed to nicotine, although whether this in vivo change is accompanied by an increase in receptor function is unknown. In vitro recordings indicate that alpha4beta2- and alpha7-subtypes of nAChRs, which are the most abundant subtypes in the brain, are functionally upregulated following prolonged exposure to nicotine. The possible consequences of functional upregulation for nicotine addiction are discussed. Moreover, we propose a new paradigm that describes the unusual behavior of these neuronal nAChRs and helps to explain the effects of nicotine in the CNS and the diffuse effects of ACh.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
