Abstract

Cognitive dysfunction is one of the most typical characteristics in various neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease (advanced stage). Although several mechanisms like neuronal apoptosis and inflammatory responses have been recognized to be involved in the pathogenesis of cognitive dysfunction in these diseases, recent studies on neurodegeneration and cognitive dysfunction have demonstrated a significant impact of receptor modulation on cognitive changes. The pathological alterations in various receptors appear to contribute to cognitive impairment and/or deterioration with correlation to diversified mechanisms. This article recapitulates the present understandings and concepts underlying the modulation of different receptors in human beings and various experimental models of Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease as well as a conceptual update on the underlying mechanisms. Specific roles of serotonin, adrenaline, acetylcholine, dopamine receptors, and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors in Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease will be interactively discussed. Complex mechanisms involved in their signaling pathways in the cognitive dysfunction associated with the neurodegenerative diseases will also be addressed. Substantial evidence has suggested that those receptors are crucial neuroregulators contributing to cognitive pathology and complicated correlations exist between those receptors and the expression of cognitive capacities. The pathological alterations in the receptors would, therefore, contribute to cognitive impairments and/or deterioration in Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Future research may shed light on new clues for the treatment of cognitive dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases by targeting specific alterations in these receptors and their signal transduction pathways in the frontal-striatal, fronto–striato–thalamic, and mesolimbic circuitries.

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.
