Enriched environment alleviates post-stroke cognitive impairment through enhancing α7-nAChR expression in rats by Mei YUAN, Xin-Xin ZHANG, Xiao-Cui FU, Xia BI

“…ABSTRACT Background: Enriched environment (EE) is a simple and effective intervention to improve cognitive function in post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI), partly due to the rebalancing of the cholinergic signaling pathway in the hippocampus. α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR) is a cholinergic receptor whose activation inhibits inflammation and promotes the recovery of neurological function in PSCI patients. …”
