Scope and Contents

Contents

The forebrain cholinergic system promotes higher brain function in part by signaling through the M₁ muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR). During Alzheimer's disease (AD), these cholinergic neurons degenerate, therefore selectively activating M₁ receptors could improve cognitive function in these patients while avoiding unwanted peripheral resp...
