Dendrites
Acting through these excitatory and inhibitory inputs and nAChRs located on the DA neurons, nicotinic receptors influence the firing modes and firing frequency of DA neurons (119, 121). PubMed:17009926

Furthermore, by directly exciting or by shunting the progress of an action potential at a bifurcation, axonal or dendritic nAChRs alter the spread of neuronal excitation. PubMed:17009926
