International Union of Pharmacology. XX. Current Status of the Nomenclature for Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors and Their Subunits

TL;DR: Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in jawed vertebrates are prototypical members of the multisubunit, neurotransmitter-gated superfamily of ion channels (ionotropic neurotransmitter receptors; see Section IV for selected seminal papers, reviews, and collections).
Journal ArticleDOI

Nicotine as a potential neuroprotective agent for Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that nicotine and nAChR drugs represent promising therapeutic agents for the management of Parkinson's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relationship among nigrostriatal denervation, parkinsonism, and dyskinesias in the MPTP primate model.

TL;DR: Moderate nigrostriatal damage which does not induce clinical parkinsonism predisposes to levodopa‐induced dyskinesias, and the severity of denervation may enhance the sensitivity to subsequent levodOPA exposures.
