Short communicationα-Bungarotoxin- and methyllycaconitine-sensitive nicotinic receptors mediate fast synaptic transmission in interneurons of rat hippocampal slices
Section snippets
Note added in proof
These observations related to the synaptic responses mediated by α7-containing nAChRs in hippocampal interneurons have recently been confirmed by another laboratory (Frazier, Buhler, Weiner, Dunwiddie, J. Neurosci. in press).
