PubMed:19126755

Activation of alpha7 nAChRs in somatodendritic and preterminal/ terminal areas of interneurons in various strata of the CA1 region and in the dentate gyrus facilitates spontaneous quantal release of GABA (14, 25). Glutamate release from mossy fibers onto CA3 pyramidal neurons is also modulated by alpha7 nAChRs present in the mossy fiber terminals (190).
