The alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor(α7 nAChR), consisting of homomeric α7 subunits, is a ligand-gated Ca~(2+)-permeable ion channel implicated in cognition and neuropsychiatric disorders. Enhancement of α7 nAChR function is considered to be a potential therapeutic strategy aiming at ameliorating cognitive deficits of neuropsychiatric disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease(AD) and schizophrenia. Currently, a number of α7 nAChR modulators have been reported and several of them have advanced into clinical trials. In this brief review, we outline recent progress made in understanding the role of the α7 nAChR in multiple neuropsychiatric disorders and the pharmacological effects of α7 nAChR modulators used in clinical trials.

农作物株高、品质等许多农艺性状多属于复杂的数量性状。近年来,随着生物技术的发展,利用分子标记技术,对控制这些性状的QTL数目、在染色体上的位置及遗传效应等进行了研究和分析,并取得了一定进展。遗憾的是,当前的研究报道多以F2、BC1、DH和RIL群体为研究对象,由于这些群体的遗传背景较为复杂,很难从根本上提高QTL定位的精确性,也难于对相关QTL进行准确的效应估算。染色体片段置换系是指一套以同一亲本
