bp(GO:"regulation of action potential firing rate")
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
Postsynaptic β2∗ nAChRs initially depolarize DA neurons, causing them to fire action potentials while presynaptic α7∗ nAChRs boost glutamate release. PubMed:17009926
Activation of nAChRs on distal apical dendrites depolarizes the cell and promotes action potential firing PubMed:17009926
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
The nicotine initially activates nAChRs on DA neurons, causing an increase in burst firing and overall firing rate (88, 121, 123, 124, 134). PubMed:17009926
Simultaneously, activity of postsynaptic (and somatic) α 4 β 2 * nAChRs depolarizes DA neurons leading to enhanced action potential firing (Zhang et al., 2009). PubMed:26472524
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
