composite(a(CHEBI:"amyloid-beta"), p(HGNC:CHRNA7)) increases sec(a(CHEBI:dopamine)) View Subject | View Object

Perfusion of soluble Abeta into mouse prefrontal cortex increases dopamine secretion through a mechanism that is blocked by alpha7 antagonists (Wu et al., 2007). PubMed:19293145

a(CHEBI:acetylcholine) regulates act(a(MESH:Neurons)) View Subject | View Object

Acetylcholine (ACh) is a neurotransmitter that modulates neuronal function in several areas of the CNS associated with AD and/or SZ pathology, including the striatum, cortex, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex.5 ACh mediates its actions via two families of receptors, termed the muscarinic ACh receptors (mAChRs) and the nicotinic ACh receptors (nAChRs). PubMed:24511233

a(MESH:"1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid") increases bp(GO:"excitatory postsynaptic potential") View Subject | View Object

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. PubMed:24511233

a(MESH:"Prefrontal Cortex") association bp(GO:cognition) View Subject | View Object

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.
