mecamylamine and Cognition Disorders

mecamylamine has been researched along with Cognition Disorders in 9 studies

Mecamylamine: A nicotinic antagonist that is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and crosses the blood-brain barrier. Mecamylamine has been used as a ganglionic blocker in treating hypertension, but, like most ganglionic blockers, is more often used now as a research tool.

Cognition Disorders: Disorders characterized by disturbances in mental processes related to learning, thinking, reasoning, and judgment.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In smokers with schizophrenia and control smokers, overnight abstinence led to undetectable plasma nicotine levels and an increase in tobacco craving."3.73Effects of cigarette smoking on spatial working memory and attentional deficits in schizophrenia: involvement of nicotinic receptor mechanisms. ( Dudas, MM; George, TP; Jatlow, PI; Krishnan-Sarin, S; Sacco, KA; Seyal, A; Termine, A; Vessicchio, JC; Wexler, BE, 2005)
"Tamoxifen (TMX) is a selective estrogen receptor modulator that is used as an estrogen receptor antagonist for the treatment and prevention of breast cancer."2.78Tamoxifen improves cholinergically modulated cognitive performance in postmenopausal women. ( Albert, K; Astur, R; Dumas, J; Johnson, J; Naylor, M; Newhouse, P, 2013)
"Memantine was also effective in these tests and concomitant administration of subeffective doses of ZSET1446 and memantine significantly ameliorated the cognitive performance in the novel object recognition task in both mice and rats."1.39Combination effects of ZSET1446/ST101 with memantine on cognitive function and extracellular acetylcholine in the hippocampus. ( Hino, M; Takeda, K; Yamaguchi, Y, 2013)
"Rivastigmine (2 mg/kg) reduced cerebral edema by at least 50% (p < 0."1.30Rivastigmine, a brain-selective acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, ameliorates cognitive and motor deficits induced by closed-head injury in the mouse. ( Chen, Y; Constantini, S; Shohami, E; Weinstock, M, 1998)
