1 alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) antagonists mimicked the effect of nicotine and selective removal of hippocampal cholinergic input caused depotentiation in the absence of nicotine, suggesting that nicotine depotentiates consolidated LTP by inducing alpha7 nAChR desensitization. Nicotine cholinergic receptor nicotinic beta 1 subunit Rattus norvegicus
