Chronic alpha7 nAChR inhibition in the hippocampus by elevated levels of KYNA can contribute to auditory gating deficits, which appear to be associated with the development of schizophrenia (156). It is also feasible that KYNAinduced inhibition of alpha7 nAChRs contributes to the cognitive impairment observed in patients with AD and schizophrenia (273).
