Beta2* Nicotinic Receptors Regulate Exploratory and Social Behavior Through Functionally Distinct Neuronal Populations
Alice Abbondanza, Jan Elias, Chandani R. Verma…·Helena Janickova
Beta2 nicotinic receptor knockdown in Htr3a-Cre mouse interneurons gave strong hypersociability; prefrontal NPY-Cre neurons, weaker effects (reduced social preference); striatal NPY neurons, slight effects mostly opposite to those.
