Thalamus
At the level of whole brain, chronic nicotine causes selective upregulation of nAChRs among major brain regions. Upregulation occurs in cortex, midbrain, and hypothalamus, but not in thalamus or cerebellum (Pauly et al., 1991; Marks et al., 1992; Nguyen et al., 2003; Nashmi et al., 2007; Doura et al., 2008) PubMed:21482353
