Used in research for cognitive disorders due to its action on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Shows potential in improving attention, memory, and information processing. Investigated for conditions like Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia where cognitive function is impaired. Acts as a selective agonist, helping to enhance cholinergic signaling without significant side effects seen with non-selective agents. Also used as a pharmacological tool in neuroscience studies to understand receptor function.
