The importance of retaining the high-affinity nicotine binding sites to brain integrity has been demonstrated in studies of mice with a null mutation in the gene that encodes the beta2 nAChR subunit, a structural subunit of the high-affinity nicotine binding site (150, 184, 215, 311); these mice experience early onset neurodegeneration (528).
