Although serious interest in studying the role of central cho
linergic processes in psychopathology is just beginning to emerge,
experimental literature on the part played by cholinergic
mechanisms in brain behavior. reiations is quite extensive. During
the past thirty years, cholinergic research has contributed
significantly to the characterization and differentiation of
adaptive mechanisms in volved in input selection, perception,
cortical, autonomic and behav ioral activation, learning, memory,
and inhibitory control of behav ioral outputs. To say that
dysfunction of one or more of these mech anisms may be at the root
of neuropsychiatric illnesses such as schiz ophrenia would be
stating the obvious. This book examines the part cholinergic
processes might play in dysfunctions of the adaptive processes
involved in higher brain func tions and their significance for the
pathogenesis, classification, etiology, and treatment of
psychopathological conditions. In a series of wide ranging reviews
of the available information, the subject is discussed from a
variety of perspectives, using data derived from both experimental
and clinical research. The purpose is not so much to determine
whether cholinergic excess or deficiency is causal in this or that
neuropsychiatric syndrome, but rather to try to understand the
disease mechanisms in terms of adaptive processes in which
cholinergic systems seem to play an important part."
