Book Chapter
Marshall, J., David, J. A., Darlison, M. G., Barnard, E. A., & Sattelle, D. B. (1988). Pharmacology, Cloning and Expression of Insect Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors. In Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors in the Nervous System (257-281). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-74167-8_20

There is considerable evidence that acetylcholine is an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the insect central nervous system (Sattelle 1986). Despite the acute technical difficulties of proving that a putative transmitter exerts a functi... Read More about Pharmacology, Cloning and Expression of Insect Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors.

Brain α-Neurotoxin-Binding Proteins and Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors (1988)
Book Chapter
Darlison, M. G., Hicks, A. A., Cockcroft, V. B., Squire, M. D., & Barnard, E. A. (1988). Brain α-Neurotoxin-Binding Proteins and Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors. In Cellular and Molecular Basis of Synaptic Transmission (475-492). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-73172-3_32

The study of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) of skeletal muscle and fish electric organ has been greatly facilitated by the application of the α-neurotoxins (postsynaptic toxins) of elapid and hydrophid snake venoms, such as α-bungarotoxi...
