## Abstract Nicotine acetylcholine (ACh) receptors (nAChRs) are ligand‐gated ion channels that are widely expressed throughout the central nervous system. It is well established that presynaptic, α7‐containing nAChRs modulate glutamate release in several brain areas, and that this modulation requir
