Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) have lower levels of the neuromodulator acetylcholine (ACh) in their brains. Donepezil, an AD drug, increases brain ACh levels and improves AD-associated ...
Acetylcholine (ACh) is a neuromodulator with a central role in aversive learning—rapid conditioning to unpleasant smell, taste, or touch. These learning functions play out in cells called D2 ...
Scientists are reporting the first compelling evidence in people that cognitive training can boost levels of a brain chemical that typically declines with age. A 10-week study of people 65 or older ...
New research published in Psychopharmacology shows that cannabidiol, a major non-psychoactive compound in cannabis, can enhance a specific type of social memory in mice. This effect appears to be ...
