Mean reaction times obtained in a Sternberg memory-scanning task were examined for the effects of secobarbital at two doses (1.47 mg/kg and 2.94 mg/kg) spanning the dose range commonly used in clinical practice. Both doses slowed reaction time significantly, with a more pronounced effect at the high
## Abstract Because there is evidence that central cholinergic mechanisms are depleted in dementia, we studied the effects of central cholinergic augmentation on the memory of 5 patients with Alzheimer disease. Patients received placebo, lecithin, physostigmine, or lecithin plus physostigmine in a
The effects of an intraveneous infusion of physostigmine (0.94 mg infused over 60 min) on performance in memory tests were studied in 12 young subjects. Drug effects were modest and are discussed in relation to results of physostigmine studies in Alzheimer patients.
