CHRNA7 and early-onset autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease: The hot spots of nAChR channel research were “subunit and structure of nAChR,” “activation/agonist of nAChR channel,” and “Changes in nAChRs With Alzheimer’s Disease.” The top three research frontiers of nAChR channel research were “neuropathic pain,” “neuroinflammation,” and “α7 nACHR.” The study provides a perspective to visualize and analyze hotspots and emerging trends in the nAChR channel.
