A new caged nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist was developed, ABT594, which is photolysed by one‐ and two‐photon excitation. The caged compound is photolysed with a quantum yield of 0.20. One‐photon uncaging of ABT594 elicited large currents and Ca2+ transients at the soma and dendrites of medial habenula (MHb) neurons of mouse brain slices. Unexpectedly, uncaging of ABT594 also revealed highly Ca2+‐permeable nAChRs on axons of MHb neurons.
