“…In addition, in people with schizophrenia, the repeated stimulation of nicotinic receptors by smoking leads to less of a reduction in nicotinic receptor expression than in control smokers [ 188 ]. Despite this strong association between cholinergic signalling and cognition in schizophrenia, agents that affect nicotine receptor function such as varenicline, or that target cholinergic neurotransmission more broadly, like acetylcholinesterase inhibitors have had disappointing results when used to treat the cognitive deficits of schizophrenia [ 189 , 190 ].…”

“…Through partial agonism, varenicline reduces dopaminergic activation by nicotine stimulation of the mesolimbic dopamine system associated with nicotine addiction. 11 Overall, the results surrounding varenicline on cognition in schizophrenia is mixed and a meta‐analysis conducted in 2020 by Tanzer et al 12 concluded that it was not a useful agent for improving multiple domains of cognition including attention, executive function, or processing speed in schizophrenia. Furthermore, they suggested that a trial of at least 2500 patients would be needed to possibly show significant findings, which is significantly greater than any previous trial.…”

“…Wyniki badań przeprowadzonych w ostatnich latach wykazały brak skuteczności substancji, takich jak między innymi wareniklina [155] oraz rywastygmina (podczas stosowania tego leku mogą wystąpić neurologiczne skutki uboczne u chorych na schizofrenię) [156].…”
