The Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor as a Target for Antidepressant Drug Development
An important new area of antidepressant drug development involves targeting the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). This receptor, which is distributed widely in regions of the brain associated with depression, is also implicated in other important processes that are relevant to depression, su...
