To provide an answer to the following questions: 1. In patients with AD, does treatment with a ChEI improve cerebral hemodynamics? 2. Is there less progression of cerebrovascular lesions on follow-up of AD patients receiving ChEI*s? 3. Does this…
Objective: to provide an answer to the following question: in patients with AD, does treatment with a ChEI improve cerebral autoregulation?
The goal of the current investigation is to test a new model that accounts better for results of pharmacological research. This model states that the cholinergic system underlies disengagement, and that the noradrenergic system underlies bias. Two…
To investigate the effects of galantamine on cognitive impairment and visual hallucinations in Parkinson`s disease, both therapeutic (direct effect) and preventive (protection against an acute increase of dopaminergic medication used by the patient…
To examine the effects of treatment with galantamine among patients with AD on the variability and stability of walking (with and without dual-task), functional mobility, standing balance, and cognitive functions (e.g. attention and executive…
The first objective of this study is whether DCS addition to exposure therapy enhances symptom reduction in PD+AGO. The second objective of the study is to establish the optimal timing of administration of D-cycloserine (directly pre- or post…
We propose to conduct a study in healthy young and elderly subjects and patients diagnosed with mild to moderate AD, FTLD, or DLB where cholinergic and serotonergic challenges are given in a placebo-controlled, crossover fashion. Before each…
We propose to conduct a study in patients with mild to moderate AD where a cholinergic challenge is given in a placebo-controlled, cross-over fashion, prior to onset of treatment with a CEI. Patients will be followed over a period of 6 months to…
