cholinergic

Cholinergic agents are compounds that mimic the action of acetylcholine and butyrylcholine.

The word “choline” generally describes the various quaternary ammonium salts containing the N,N,N-trimethylethanolammonium cation.

Cholinergic medications are pharmaceutical agents that act upon the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, the primary neurotransmitter within the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS).

The cholinergic hypothesis is the first and still the only widely accepted theory explaining the nature of AD. Cholinergic deficits are common in VaD, possibly resulting from ischemia in the small penetrating arteries of basal forebrain cholinergic nuclei or from ischemic lesions in basal ganglia and subcortical white matter that sever cholinergic cortical projections Roman.

The cholinergic system is based on the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh), first recognized by Loewi in the 1920s and found widely distributed in both central and peripheral nervous systems.
