The role of acetylcholine in learning and memory
Open accessAbstract
Pharmacological data clearly indicate that both muscarinic and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors have a role in the encoding of new memories. Localized lesions and antagonist infusions demonstrate the anatomical locus of these cholinergic effects, and computational modeling links the function of cholinergic modulation to specific cellular effects within these regions. Acetylcholine has been shown to increase the strength of afferent input relative to feedback, to contribute to theta rhythm oscillations, activate intrinsic mechanisms for persistent spiking, and increase the modification of synapses. These effects might enhance different types of encoding in different cortical structures. In particular, the effects in entorhinal and perirhinal cortex and hippocampus might be important for encoding new episodic memories.

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors play a role in learning and memory.
“Functionally, these receptors play a role in learning and memory (Hasselmo 2006).”
From The long-term cognitive consequences of adolescent exposure to recreational drugs of abuse (2018) · cites this paper as Hasselmo 2006
DA and ACh neurotransmission play critical roles in the regulation of memory via the ventral tegmental area and MSDB projections to the PFC-hippocampus-associated circuits.
“DA and ACh neurotransmission play critical roles in the regulation of memory via the ventral tegmental area and MSDB projections to the PFC-hippocampus-associated circuits”
Increasing acetylcholine concentration at the synapse by inhibiting AChE is one approach to slow down the progression of AD.
“An increase of acetylcholine concentration (ACh) at the synapse by inhibiting the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is one of the approaches to slow down the progression of AD [18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26].”

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.
