The role of interactions between the cholinergic system and other neuromodulatory systems in learing and memory

Decker, Michael W., McGaugh, James L.·1991·Synapse

Abstract

Extensive evidence indicates that disruption of cholinergic funtion is characteristic of aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD), and experimental manipulation of the cholinergic system in laboratory animals suggests age‐related cholinergic dysfunction may play an important role in cognitive deterioration associated with aging and AD. Recent research, however, suggests that cholinergic dysfunction does not provide a complete account of age‐related congnitive deficits and that age‐related changes in cholinergic function typically occur within the context of changes in several other neurmoudulatory systems. Evidence reviewed in this paper suggests that interactions between the cholinergic system and serveral of these neurotransmitters and neuromodulators—including norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, GABA, opioid peptides, galanin, substance P, and angiotensin II—may be important in learning and memory. Thus, it is important to consider not only the independent contributions of age‐related changes in neuromodulatory systems to cognitive decline, but also the contribution of interactions between these systems to the learning and memory deficits associated with again and AD.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
