Glutamatergic Synapse Formation is Promoted by α7-Containing Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors

Glutamate is the primary excitatory transmitter in adult brain, acting through synapses on dendritic spines and shafts. Early in development, however, when glutamatergic synapses are only beginning to form, nicotinic cholinergic excitation is already widespread; it is mediated by acetylcholine activ...
