Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the synganglion of the tick Ixodes ricinus: Functional characterization using membrane microtransplantation

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are an important class of excitatory receptors in the central nervous system of arthropods. In the ticks Ixodes ricinus, the functional and pharmacological properties of nicotinic receptors located in their neurons are still unknown. The objective of this study was...
