Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors in Health and Disease

About this book

Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors in Health and Disease provides the latest information Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), which are involved in numerous diseases, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and schizophrenia, and are important potential translational targets for treatment of these diseases, as well as therapy for addiction. This book focuses on the roles and function of nAChRs inside and outside of the nervous system, with an emphasis on translational implications and future prospects for the treatment of numerous disorders. This greater understanding of the basic neurobiology and clinical roles of nAChRs provides important insights for future clinical treatments of many major disorders. - Describes the roles, expression and function of nicotinic receptors - Includes receptor involvement, both inside and outside the nervous system - Details nicotinic receptor involvement in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Cancer, Schizophrenia, and more - Emphasizes future treatment prospects of disorders via modulation of nAChR signaling
