Brioni\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Nicotine''s efficacy in the treatment of pain and anxiolysis, andits usefulness as a memory enhancer, have been suspected for manyyears, but research into the molecular biology of nicotinicacetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) traditionally has focused onsmoking cessation. Now, thanks to recent technological advances inthe molecular biology and electrophysiology of nAChRs, an abundanceof evidence has emerged in support of nAChR ligands in thetreatment of a range of CNS disorders, including Alzheimer''sdisease, Parkinson''s disease, neuropathic pain, attention deficitdisorder, and depression.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Featuring contributions from an international team of experts inthe field, this volume provides researchers and clinicians with acomprehensive review of nAChRs, their molecular biology,pharmacology, and clinical implications.
