Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative diseases on a global scale. Historically, this pathology has been linked to cholinergic transmission, and despite the scarcity of effective therapies, numerous alternative processes and targets have been proposed as potential avenues for comprehending this complex illness. Nevertheless, the fundamental pathophysiological mechanisms underpinning AD remain largely enigmatic, with a growing body of evidence advocating for the significance of muscarinic receptors in modulating the brain's capacity to adapt and generate new memories. This review summarizes the current state of the art in the field of muscarinic receptors' involvement in AD. A specific key factor was the relationship between comorbidity and the emergence of new mechanisms.
