    Fucile S, Lax P, Eusebi F. Nicotine modulates the spontaneous synaptic activity in cultured embryonic rat spinal cord interneurons. J Neurosci Res. 2002;67:329-36 pubmed
    ..Our results provide the first evidence of modulation of both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitter release in embryonic spinal cord interneurons by non-alpha7-containing nicotinic receptors. ..

    ..Furthermore, this study provides the proof of concept that it is possible to reduce Ca2+ overload in neurons modulating the NMDAR Ca2+ permeability. ..

    Fucile S, Renzi M, Lax P, Eusebi F. Fractional Ca(2+) current through human neuronal alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Cell Calcium. 2003;34:205-9 pubmed
    ..In our knowledge, the findings here reported indicate the human alpha7 receptors are the most Ca(2+) conductive homomeric ligand-gated receptor-channels expressed in a heterologous cell system. ..
  4. Fucile S, Miledi R, Eusebi F. Effects of cyclothiazide on GluR1/AMPA receptors. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2006;103:2943-7 pubmed
    ..We also present a kinetic model that predicts well all of the experimental findings of CTZ action. Finally, we suggest a protocol for standard cell treatment with CTZ to attain maximal efficacy of CTZ on GluR1 receptors. ..

  6. Fucile S, Sucapane A, Eusebi F. Ca2+ permeability of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors from rat dorsal root ganglion neurones. J Physiol. 2005;565:219-28 pubmed
    ..Finally, we report that Ca2+ influx through nAChRs in adult DRG neurones negatively modulated the TRPV1-mediated responses, representing a possible mechanism underlying the analgesic properties of nicotinic agonists on sensory neurones. ..
