For ash hazard, a 'most likely' eruption scenario was developed, characterised by slow lava extrusion over periods of one to two years with weak but persistent explosions and ash venting up to 3 km.

In terms of ashfall hazards, two alternative scenarios might be adopted as the most likely or expected eruptions, based on an understanding of explosive activity during historic eruptions (e.g. Parks et al. [2012]): these eruptions can be characterized by slow lava extrusion over periods of 2 to 4 years with weak but persistent explosions and ash venting.

However, recently this laboratory has proposed that in the presence of PNU-120596, 5 10 µM choline may become effective in producing a weak but persistent activation of α7* nAChRs in hypothalamic tuberomammillary (TM) neurons known to express high densities of functional α7* nAChRs [43].

For example, a weak but persistent activation of α7* nAChRs can be achieved with low concentrations of nicotinic agonists (e.g., ∼1 6 µM 4OH-GTS-21 (i.e., 3- 4-hydroxy, 2-methoxy-benzylidene)anabaseine), a selective α7 nAChR agonist [56], [66]) and has been shown to be neuroprotective in the NGF/serum-withdrawal toxicity model in pheochromocytoma-12 cells expressing functional α7* nAChRs [22].

Therefore, the results of this study suggest that in the presence of PNU-120596, endogenous choline may produce a weak but persistent activation of functional α7* nAChRs in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons and thus, may act as a potent therapeutic agent with potential neuroprotective and cognition-enhancing properties.
