Varenicline improves cognitive impairment in a mouse model of mPFC ischemia: The possible roles of inflammation, apoptosis, and synaptic factors

Ischemia in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) causes cognitive impairment in stroke cases. This study aimed to examine the effects of varenicline as α7 and α4β2 nicotine acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) agonist, on cognitive impairment, inflammation, apoptosis, and synaptic dysfunction in mPFC isc...
