Chronic nicotine and smoking exposure decreases GABA(B1) receptor expression in the rat hippocampus.

abstract：:Whole-cell and single channel recordings were used to characterize an intermediate conductance calcium-activated potassium (KCa) channel in sensory neurons of the nodose ganglion. From a -80 mV holding potential, the total outward current in these neurons was increased when extracellular calcium was raised from 0.02 t...
