Britto Multidisciplinaria (Ciencias Naturales y Exactas) nicotine development acetylcholine neurotransmitters nicotinic receptors Several neurotransmitter systems have been related to developmental processes during the past decade.In this review, we discuss the evidence that the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors could have an additionalfunction during development that may be unrelated to their role in cholinergic neurotransmission in thevertebrate brain. Both temporal expression data and in vitro and in vivo studies with nicotinic agonists andantagonists have provided direct support for a role of nicotinic receptors in neural developmental processessuch as neurite outgrowth and differentiation. A similar picture has emerged for other neurotransmitter andreceptor systems as well, which generates a new view of neural processes during both development andmature life. 2002 artículo científico 0001-3765 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=32774308 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=327 Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências application/pdf Academia Brasileira de Ciências Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.74
