Identification of acetylcholine receptor channel-lining residues in the entire M2 segment of the alpha subunit.

abstract：:Cholinergic interneurons (CHIs) play a major role in motor and learning functions of the striatum. As acetylcholine does not directly evoke postsynaptic events at most striatal synapses, it remains unclear how postsynaptic cholinergic receptors encode the firing patterns of CHIs in the striatum. To examine the dynamic...
