Pre- and postsynaptic actions of L1-CAM in nicotinic pathways. (2006)
Triana-Baltzer, Gallen B, Liu, Zhaoping, Berg, Darwin K
Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) have long been known to guide axon outgrowth and pathfinding. More recent evidence indicates they contribute to synapse formation as well. The L1 family of IgCAMs has...
β-Amyloid peptide blocks the response of α7-containing nicotinic receptors on hippocampal neurons
Liu, Qing-song, Kawai, Hideki, Berg, Darwin K.
Alzheimer's disease produces a devastating decline in mental function, with profound effects on learning and memory. Early consequences of the disease include the specific loss of cholinergic neurons...
Inhibition of neuronal acetylcholine sensitivity by α-toxins from Bungarus multicinctus venom
Ravdin, Peter M., Berg, Darwin K.
Bungarus multicinctus venom contains several α-toxins in addition to the widely used α-bungarotoxin (Bgt 2.2). We have found that two of the α-toxins (Bgt 3.1 and 3.3) inhibit neuronal...
Binding of α-Bungarotoxin to Acetylcholine Receptors In Mammalian Muscle
Berg, Darwin K., Kelly, Regis B., Sargent, Peter B., Williamson, Patrick, Hall, Zach W.
Experiments were performed to determine the specificity of [125I]α-bungarotoxin binding to skeletal muscle. In adult rat diaphragm, [125I]α-bungarotoxin was found to bind almost exclusively to...

Zhang, Jingming, Berg, Darwin K
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are expressed throughout the central nervous system and influence a variety of higher order functions including learning and memory. While the effects of...
Cuevas, Javier, Roth, Adelheid L, Berg, Darwin K
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) that bind α-bungarotoxin (αBgt) were studied on isolated rat superior cervical ganglion (SCG) neurons using whole-cell patch clamp recording...
