Sample Annotated Edges 5

a(CHEBI:acetylcholine) increases bp(GO:"regulation of action potential firing rate") View Subject | View Object

In most cases, the exogenously applied ACh caused action potential firing by the GABA neuron that consequently regulated the activity of nearby pyramidal neurons (100, 103). PubMed:17009926

a(CHEBI:nicotine) increases act(a(HBP:"alpha-4 beta-2 nAChR")) View Subject | View Object

In midbrain, chronic nicotine treatment elicits a general increase in alpha4beta2* nAChRs in GABAergic neurons, but only in axon terminals of DA neurons PubMed:21482353

a(CHEBI:nicotine) increases act(a(HBP:"alpha-4-containing nAChR")) View Subject | View Object

These contrasting effects on GABA and DA neurons are due to upregulated alpha4* nAChR responses in GABA neurons, at both somata and synaptic terminals PubMed:21482353

a(HBP:"alpha-3 beta-2 nAChR") regulates sec(a(CHEBI:"gamma-aminobutyric acid")) View Subject | View Object

Also, Endo et al. [141] found naturally-expressed a3b2- and a6b2-nAChRs on superior colli- culus neurons, and these receptors are likely located on pre- synaptic terminals of GABAergic neurons where they modulate GABA release. PubMed:21787755

a(MESH:"alpha6beta2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor") regulates sec(a(CHEBI:"gamma-aminobutyric acid")) View Subject | View Object

Also, Endo et al. [141] found naturally-expressed a3b2- and a6b2-nAChRs on superior colli- culus neurons, and these receptors are likely located on pre- synaptic terminals of GABAergic neurons where they modulate GABA release. PubMed:21787755
