1 | This study was designed to assess the contribution of different nAChR subtypes to the behavioural and neurochemical effects of chronic cocaine treatment. | Cocaine | cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha polypeptide 7 | Mus musculus |
2 | Quantitative autoradiography was used to examine the effect of cocaine exposure on alpha7 and alpha4beta2* nAChRs, and on the high-affinity choline transporter. | Cocaine | cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha polypeptide 7 | Mus musculus |
3 | KEY RESULTS: MLA+cocaine administration induced an intense self-grooming behaviour, indicating a likely role for alpha7 nAChRs in modulating this anxiogenic, compulsive-like effect of cocaine. | Cocaine | cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha polypeptide 7 | Mus musculus |
