Cholinergic System Maintenance

Meaning

Cholinergic System Maintenance refers to the clinical and physiological strategies employed to preserve the structural integrity and functional efficiency of the neural network that uses acetylcholine as its primary neurotransmitter. This system is crucial for cognitive functions, particularly attention, learning, and memory consolidation, and its integrity is a key determinant of long-term neurological health. Optimal maintenance involves supporting both acetylcholine synthesis and receptor sensitivity.
