act(p(HGNC:CHRNA7, loc(GO:"axon terminus"))) regulates bp(GO:"synaptic transmission, glycinergic") View Subject | View Object

In CA1 and CA3 pyramidal neurons of the developed hippocampus, alpha7 nAChRs are expressed primarily on axon terminals whereby their activation modulates the efficacy of glutamate synaptic transmission. PubMed:19126755

a(PUBCHEM:1476756) increases bp(GO:memory) View Subject | View Object

For example, it has been shown that the benzyl quinolone carboxylic acid (BQCA), which is an M1-selective allosteric agonist, is effective in increasing spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) pyramidal cells and improving memory in a transgenic mouse model of AD PubMed:26813123

Nevertheless, a compound developed later, TBPB, selectively activates M1 mAChR in cell lines and shows no agonist activity in any other mAChR subtype. Interestingly, TBPB also potentiates the NMDA-evoked current in hippocampal pyramidal neurons, which is considered to be important for the effect of M1 mAChR on improving cognition. In addition, TBPB shifts the processing of APP in the non-amyloidogenic direction and thereafter decreases neurotoxic Abeta production vitro[120]. PubMed:24590577
