Researchers eye potential schizophrenia 'switch'

Posted by PeterMartin on September 19, 2016, at 17:27:06


New study/article. Excerpt:

Several years ago, a drug being tested in humans for treatment of Alzheimer's disease was shown to have "robust" effects in reducing psychotic symptoms in both Alzheimer's and schizophrenia patients. The drug activated "muscarinic" receptors in the brain that bind the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
While the drug didn't make it to market, Conn and his colleagues seized on the possibility that activating muscarinic receptors could be a new way to treat schizophrenia.
