Cholinesterase inhibitors are a class of medications that prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter important for memory and learning. These drugs are primarily used in the management of neurocognitive disorders, particularly Alzheimer's disease, to enhance cognitive function by increasing the availability of acetylcholine in the brain. By improving communication between nerve cells, cholinesterase inhibitors help to mitigate some symptoms of neurodegeneration.
