Nicotinic receptor mechanisms and cognition in normal states and neuropsychiatric disorders.

Cigarette smoking rates in the American population are approximately 23%, whereas rates of smoking in clinical and population studies of individuals with neuropsychiatric disorders are typically two- to four-fold higher. Studies conducted in a variety of neuropsychiatric populations [e.g. attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia] have collectively sugg...

Nicotinic Receptor Mechanisms in Neuropsychiatric Disorders: Therapeutic Implications

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are ligandgated ion channels in the central nervous system and consist of α and β subunits. Twelve subtypes of the nAChR have been identified; the α4β2 subunit combination is the most common.1 nAChRs are found in thalamus, basal ganglia, cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum.2 Acetylcholine (Ach) is the endogenous ligand of the nAChR. Nicotine i...

Noninvasive brain stimulation techniques, namely transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), are promising techniques that are under investigation for a...
