Abstract
Patients with schizophrenia have worse executive function than controls. Compromised cholinergic pathways appear to worsen the executive dysfunction observed in schizophrenia. If these preliminary findings are replicated, they could lead to the identification of a subgroup of patients with schizophrenia who could specifically benefit from interventions enhancing cholinergic neurotransmission.
