Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors may improve myelin integrity
Abstract
Recent clinical trials have revealed that cholinergic treatments are efficacious in a wide spectrum of neuropsychiatric disorders that span the entire human lifespan and include disorders without cholinergic deficits. Furthermore, some clinical and epidemiological data suggest that cholinergic treatments have disease modifying/preventive effects. It is proposed that these observations can be usefully understood in a myelin-centered model of the human brain. The model proposes that the human brain's extensive myelination is the central evolutionary change that defines our uniqueness as a species and our unique vulnerability to highly prevalent neuropsychiatric disorders. Within the framework of this model the clinical, biochemical, and epidemiologic data can be reinterpreted to suggest that nonsynaptic effects of cholinergic treatments on the process of myelination and myelin repair contributes to their mechanism of action and especially to their disease modifying/preventive effects. The ability to test the model in human populations with safe and noninvasive imaging technologies makes it possible to undertake novel clinical trial efforts directed at primary prevention of some of the most prevalent and devastating of human disorders.

Disturbances in myelin are associated with an increased rate of AD progression and byproducts of homeostatic myelin maintenance can promote the formation of amyloid plaques.
“Consistent with this possibility, disturbances in myelin have been associated with an increased rate of AD progression and byproducts of homeostatic myelin maintenance can promote the formation of amyloid plaques (Bartzokis, 2007, 2011).”

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.
