The α7 nicotinic receptor agonist ABT-107 decreases L-Dopa-induced dyskinesias in parkinsonian monkeys
Since rodent studies also suggested an involvement of α7 nAChRs in LIDs, we tested the effect of the potent, selective α7 agonist ABT-107 [5-(6-[(3R)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yloxy] pyridazin-3-yl)-1H-indole].

Blockade of α6* nAChR Reduces L-Dopa-Induced Dyskinesias; Studies Using Parkinsonian α6* nAChR Gain-of-Function Mice
To understand the mechanism through which α6β2* nAChRs regulate L-dopa-induced AIMs, we used gain-of-function α6* nAChR (α6L9’S) mice. This mutation results in enhanced sensitivity to nicotine/acetylcholine and prolonged receptor-mediated activity.

Entity Centric Feature Pooling for Complex Event Detection
In this paper, we propose an entity centric region of interest detection and visual-semantic pooling scheme for complex event detection in YouTube-like videos.

The α7 nicotinic receptor agonist ABT-107 protects against nigrostriatal damage in rats with unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine lesions.
The finding that smoking is inversely correlated with Parkinson’s disease and that nicotine attenuates nigrostriatal damage in Parkinsonian animals supports the idea that nicotine may be neuroprotective.
