Abstract The involvement of the cholinergic system in learning and memory together with cognitive enhancing properties 5‐HT 6 receptor antagonists led us to study relationship between receptors neurotransmission. A selective lesion, induced by injection immunotoxin 192‐IgG‐Saporin into nucleus basalis magnocellularis, failed alter density mRNA or protein expression deafferentated frontal cortex, suggesting that are not located on neurons. antagonist SB‐357134 (0.001–1 µ m ) a...
Background and purpose: The beneficial effect of 5‐HT 6 receptor antagonism in cognition remains controversial. This study has been undertaken to reassess the enhancing properties acute vs subchronic treatment with selective antagonist SB‐271046 unimpaired rats, as well against scopolamine (cholinergic‐) or MK‐801 (glutamatergic‐mediated) deficits. Experimental approach: Morris water maze was used, measuring behaviour acquisition retention, swim speed. Other behavioural measures included...
We studied the hypothesis that disturbances in 5-HT6 receptor function temporal cortex may contribute to clinical symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD). density and 5-HT levels were significantly decreased a cohort AD patients prosp
The cholinergic system has been widely implicated in cognitive processes and loss is a classical hallmark Alzheimer disease. Increasing evidence supports role of the serotonergic cognition, possibly through modulation activity. We compared selective denervation by administration immunotoxin 192 IgG-saporin nucleus basalis Meynert (NBM) with intracerebroventricular (ICV) lesions basal forebrain male rats 7 days after lesioning. NBM induced significant changes markers frontal cortex, whereas...
A growing body of evidence supports the use serotonin 5-HT6 receptor antagonists as a promising mechanism for treating cognitive dysfunction. We evaluated expression and associated biochemical mechanisms in hippocampus rats that had been trained Morris water maze (MWM), spatial learning task. Training MWM induces down-regulation protein mRNA expression. The procedure or administration selective antagonist SB-271046 induced an increase pCREB1 levels while CREB2 were significantly reduced....

Alzheimers disease (AD) is a chronic progressive disorder characterized by dementia, but often featuring behavioral and psychological syndromes (BPSD), such as depression, overactivity, psychosis or aggressive behavior. Traditional treatments for BPSD are neuroleptics sedatives, which not devoid of serious adverse effects. Neurochemically, the classical hallmark AD disruption basal forebrain cholinergic pathways consequent cortical denervation neocortex hippocampus. However, it conceivable...
