1 Allelic variation in CHRNA3, the gene encoding the alpha3 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunit, increases vulnerability to tobacco dependence and smoking-related diseases, but little is known about the role for alpha3-containing (alpha3*) nAChRs in regulating the addiction-related behavioral or physiological actions of nicotine. Nicotine cholinergic receptor nicotinic beta 1 subunit Rattus norvegicus
2 alpha-Conotoxin AuIB, a potent antagonist of the alpha3beta4 nAChR subtype, reduced the stimulatory effects of nicotine on habenular neurons, and its infusion into the IPn increased nicotine intake in rats. Nicotine cholinergic receptor nicotinic beta 1 subunit Rattus norvegicus
