*Nicotinic receptor systems in the brain are important for a variety of aspects of cognitive function impaired in schizophrenia and aggravated by antipsychotic drugs. Nicotine and selective nicotinic α7 and α4β2 agonists can significantly improve learning, memory and attention. Nicotine and nicotine agonists can reduce some of the cognitive impairments caused by some antipsychotic drugs as well as reduce cognitive impairments seen in the NMDA glutamate blockade animal model of schizophrenia. | |||
