Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are involved in numerous diseases, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and schizophrenia, and are important potential translational targets for treatment of these diseases, as well as therapy for addiction. This book will focus on the roles and function of nAChRs inside and outside of the nervous system, with an emphasis on translational implications and future prospects for treatment of numerous disorders. A greater understanding of the basic neurobiology and clinical roles of nAChRs will provide important insight to future clinical treatment of many major disorders. Describes the roles, expression, and function of nicotinic receptors Includes receptor involvement both inside and outside the nervous system Details nicotinic receptor involvement in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Cancer, Schizophrenia and more Emphasizes future treatment prospects of disorders via modulation of nAChR signaling INDICE: Introduction: Overview of nAChRs, will focus on neuronal receptors1. nAChR Structure2. Receptor Localization, Subtype Diversity, and Evolution3. Ion Channel Function, and Biophysics
