Hyperfunction of muscarinic receptor maintains long-term memory in 5-HT4 receptor knock-out mice.

Hyperfunction of muscarinic receptor maintains long-term memory in 5-HT4 receptor knock-out mice.

Patients suffering from dementia of Alzheimer's type express less serotonin 4 receptors (5-HTR(4)), but whether an absence of these receptors modifies learning and memory is unexplored. In the spatial version of the Morris water maze, we show that 5-HTR(4) knock-out (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice...
