The current primary treatments for AD symptoms are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) such as donepezil, tacrine, galantamine, and rivastigmine, which potentiate cholinergic signaling.18,19 These treatments not only provide improvements in cognitive symptoms associated with AD,20,21 but also show efficacy in treating the psychiatric symptoms.

Furthermore, administration of nonselective muscarinic antagonists can induce cognitive deficits and psychosis in humans,16,37 indicating that mAChR activation may provide pro-cognitive and antipsychotic efficacy. PubMed:24511233
