Brain cholinergic mechanisms / / edited by Sukumar Vijayaraghavan and Geeta Sharma.

The brain cholinergic system plays a role in a number of neurodegenerative and psychiatric illnesses. While the role of acetylcholine (ACh), as a modulator of attention, memory, and learning has been recognized for many years, the mechanics of cholinergic signaling in the brain are yet to be complet...
