Number, density, and surface/cytoplasmic distribution of GABA transporters at presynaptic structures of knock-in mice carrying GABA transporter subtype 1-green fluorescent protein fusions.

Increased sensitivity to agonist-induced seizures, straub tail, and hippocampal theta rhythm in knock-in mice carrying hypersensitive alpha 4 nicotinic receptors.

Nicotine activation of alpha4* receptors: sufficient for reward, tolerance, and sensitization.

Novel seizure phenotype and sleep disruptions in knock-in mice with hypersensitive alpha 4* nicotinic receptors.

Enhanced expression of hypersensitive alpha4* nAChR in adult mice increases the loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons.

Chronic nicotine cell specifically upregulates functional alpha 4* nicotinic receptors: basis for both tolerance in midbrain and enhanced long-term potentiation in perforant path.

Differential expression and function of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in subdivisions of medial habenula.

Nicotinic receptor subtype-selective circuit patterns in the subthalamic nucleus.

Smoking-Relevant Nicotine Concentration Attenuates the Unfolded Protein Response in Dopaminergic Neurons.
