This file encodes the article Activation of M1 and M4 muscarinic receptors as potential treatments for Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia by Choi et al, 2014

Moreover, additional pre-clinical studies with TBPB demonstrated efficacy in reducing antipsychotic-like behaviors and in reversing scopolamine-impaired acquisition of contextual fear.59 Studies in cell lines also demonstrated that TBPB promoted a non-amyloidogenic pathway and decreased Abeta production, indicating that M1 modulation may have efficacy in the treatment of both symptomatic and pathologic features of AD PubMed:24511233

In brain slice electrophysiology studies, BQCA enhanced excitatory postsynaptic currents in medial prefrontal cortical neurons,69 an area critical for higher cognitive, learning, and memory functions.70 In pre-clinical animal studies, BQCA reversed scopolamine-impaired contextual fear conditioning and rescued medial prefrontal cortex-dependent discrimination reversal learning deficits in a transgenic mouse model of AD.

More recently, the M1-selective allosteric agonist VU0357017 was discovered, which displayed improved potency via binding to a novel allosteric site on the M1 mAChR. VU0357017 significantly blocked scopolamine-impaired contextual fear conditioning and enhanced spatial and contextual fear learning PubMed:24511233
