Abstract
Cholinergic hyperexcitation can be induced by both acute psychological stre ss and exposure to acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Both factors are known risk factors for delayed neurodeterioration processes such as Alzheimer's d isease and Parkinson's disease, Recent publications on the involvement of c holinergic pathways in these and other neurodeterioration syndromes are rev iewed, Curr Opin Neurol 12:739-743.
