Sample Annotated Edges 5

a(CHEBI:nicotine) increases act(p(FPLX:CHRN)) View Subject | View Object

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

bp(GO:"depolarization of postsynaptic membrane") increases bp(GO:"regulation of action potential firing rate") View Subject | View Object

Postsynaptic β2∗ nAChRs initially depolarize DA neurons, causing them to fire action potentials while presynaptic α7∗ nAChRs boost glutamate release. PubMed:17009926

act(p(HGNC:CHRNA7)) increases bp(GO:"synaptic transmission, glutamatergic") View Subject | View Object

Simultaneously, nicotine activates presynaptic α7∗ nAChRs, boosting glutamatergic synaptic transmission onto DA neurons (23, 88, 123, 134). PubMed:17009926

act(p(HGNC:CHRNA7)) increases sec(a(CHEBI:"glutamate(2-)")) View Subject | View Object

Postsynaptic β2∗ nAChRs initially depolarize DA neurons, causing them to fire action potentials while presynaptic α7∗ nAChRs boost glutamate release. PubMed:17009926

p(FPLX:CHRN) increases bp(GO:"regulation of action potential firing rate") View Subject | View Object

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
