Abstract
⺠The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) is one of the most abundant AChR subtypes in the hippocampus. ⺠This receptor is a potential therapeutic target for important psychiatric diseases. ⺠RIC-3, a protein originally found in C. elegans, modulates the expression of α7 receptors. ⺠Modulation of receptor expression by RIC-3 is critically reviewed.
