Recent advance in relation between transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 receptor and cognitive dysfunction / 中华神经医学杂志

ABSTRACT

The correlation between transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) receptor and peripheral nervous system diseases has been confirmed. In recent years, studies have shown that TRPV1 plays an important role in the central nervous system; its wide distribution in the hippocampus, cortex, and midbrain bridges the correlation between TRPV1 receptor and cognitive learning and memorial function. This paper reviews the biological role of TRPV1 receptor in the nervous system at home and abroad and concludes the relations of TRPV1 receptor with cognitive associated diseases, aiming at providing theory basis for whether TRPV1 receptors can be used as therapeutic drug targets for cognitive associated diseases.
