For example, Bgt-sensitive a7-nAChRs have been implicated in processes such as vicinal control of neurotransmitter release [7,14], development and maintenance of neurites and synapses [18–20], long-term potentiation [95,96], seizures [97], and neuronal viability/death [21–24]. These intriguing findings underscore the need for further characterization of functional a7-nAChRs.
