Assessing species-specific neonicotinoid toxicity using cross-species chimeric nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in a Drosophila model Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are ligand-gated ion channels and the main mediators of synaptic neurotransmission in the insect brain. In insects, nAChRs are pivotal for sensory processing...
