disease (Boeree, 2009). The α-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7- nAChRs) are highly expressed in the hippocampus (Prickaerts et al., 2011). Hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) is the constant increase in the efficiency of synaptic transmission. Research supports the hypothesis that α-7 nAChR agonists improve LTP and the formation of long-term memory in animal models due to the activation of the MAPK signaling pathway, with phosphorylation of ERK and CREB. α-7 nAChR agonists also…
