Differential cholinergic regulation in Alzheimer's patients compared to controls following chronic blockade with scopolamine: a SPECT study
The effects of low-dose chronic scopolamine on measures of cerebral perfusion and muscarinic receptors were tested in eight Alzheimer's disease (AD) subjects and eight elderly controls. Single photon emission ...

Dose-dependent effects of deprenyl on CSF monoamine metabolites in patients with Alzheimer's disease
Deprenyl, a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor with selective effects on MAO type-B at low doses, was administered to 13 patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT), a disorder reported to be associated ...

Cognitive effects of l-deprenyl in Alzheimer's disease
Monoamine neurotransmitter systems, along with cholinergic systems, are known to play important roles in cognition, and are disrupted in at least some patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT). This s...
