Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are widely expressed throughout the brain and they are involved in the control of fundamental neural functions. One of the most common nAChR subtypes are heteromeric beta2-containing (beta2*) nAChRs. In the prefrontal cortex (PFC), beta2* nAChRs are expressed by different neuronal populations with different effects on behavior. To better understand functional role of beta2* nAChRs, we need to know which neuronal types in the PFC express them and what is the effect of these receptors on behavior. In the present project, we used FISH to map the expressi
