Q

nACh schizophrenia

A

a7 proposed as therapuetic target

High prevalance of smokers in schiz, so likely that nicotine helps

16
Q

Dopamine reward pathways

A

a4 and b2 are required for nicotine induced released on dopamine in the brain - found presynaptically

17
Q

What diseases are assocaited with nACh

A 
Epileisy
Parkinsons
ALZHIEMERS
neuopathic pain
nictotine addiction
18
Q

How is nicotine addictive

A

a7 found on presynaptic glutamate spines. Stimulation of this causes more gulatmate release, wwhich excites dopaminerigc neruons in VTA. this causes more DA release to NAc and PFC, = reward

19
Q

Smoking cessation therapies

A

Nicotine replacement

Varenicline (partial agonsit at a4 b2, competes with it)
