The third important hallmark of AD is cholinergic hypofunction. The neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) exerts its physiological functions by activating either ionotropic nicotinic ACh receptors (nAChRs) or metabotropic muscarinic ACh receptors (mAChRs). It has been reported that in AD brains there are (1) reduced choline acetyltransferase levels accompanied by decreased ACh synthesis; (2) significant loss of cholinergic neurons; (3) reduction in the numbers of postsynaptic neurons accessible to ACh; (4) cholinergic neuronal and axonal abnormalities; and (5) reduction in nAChR levels
