Modulation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in native sympathetic neurons by

To determine whether actions on nicotine acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs)
contribute to ethanol’s depressant effects on the autonomic nervous
system.

The acute effects of ethanol on nAChRs were examined in primary
cultured superior cervical ganglion (SCGs) by whole-cell patch clamp
recordings. After the whole-cell configuration was formed, drugs diluted to various concentrations with
