While chronic nicotine does not change the abundance or function of alpha4* nAChRs in the somata of substantia nigra pars compacta dopaminergic neurons, it does suppress baseline firing rates of these DA neurons. PubMed:21482353

In the midbrain, both DA neurons (in substantia nigra pars compacta and ventral tegmental area [VTA]) and GABAergic neurons (in substantia nigra pars reticulata and VTA) express high levels of alpha4beta2* nAChRs on their somata, but only GABAergic neurons display somatic upregulation (Nashmi et al., 2007; Xiao et al., 2009) PubMed:21482353
