Cholinergic effects on constructional abilities and on mnemonic processes: a case report

B Sahakian et al. Psychol Med. 1987 May.

Abstract

The effects of physostigmine on test performance of a patient with multiple cognitive deficits were observed in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Scores on tests of learning and memory and tests of visuo-spatial and constructional ability were both improved by physostigmine, while lecithin improved scores only on the former tests.
