Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) poses a significant socioeconomic burden in the world. The long lasting consequences in cognitive impairments are often underreported and its mechanisms are unclear. In this perspective, cholinergic dysfunction and therapeutic strategy targeting this will be reviewed. Novel agents that can target specific subtype of acetylcholine receptors have been developed over the recent years and are at various stages of development, which include AR-R 17779, GTS-21, SSR-180711A, AR-{"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"R17779","term_id":"771389","term_text":"R17779"}}R17779, and PNU-282987. A detailed review on this topic has been previously published (Shin and Dixon, 2015).
