Sometimes, the severity of the cognitive symptoms in Alzheimer s disease can be reduced, at least to some degree, by drugs and dietary nutrients that enhance the function of acetylcholine neurons in the brain. To understand how this is possible, we need to look at how acetylcholine is produced in the brain in the first place. [Pg.28]

Galanthamine is the only alkaloid of this class that has already found apphcation in medicine. It is approved for the symptomatic treatment of Alzheimer s disease in Europe and the United States. Its mode of action consists in a competitive and reversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, which leads to an increased concentration of acetylcholine at neuronal synapses. In addition, galanthamine acts as an allosteric modulator on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Since a characteristic featnre of Alzheimer s disease is the loss of acetylcholinergic neurons concomitant with decreased levels of acetylcholine, galanthamine can, at least partially, compensate the damage and thus enhance cognitive functions in Alzheimer s patients. [Pg.14]

Frontotemporal dementias are characterized by gross structural changes in the frontal and anterior temporal lobes, metabolic disturbances, and involvement of certain subcortical structures as well (Ishii et al. 1998). Whereas in Alzheimer s disease the early cognitive disturbances are in memory, in frontotemporal dementias the early manifestations are in executive and behavioral function (Pfeffer et al. 1999 Varma et al. 1999). This relative cognitive distinction persists throughout the course of the two disorders (Pachana et al. 1996). Disinhibition and disorganization are common, and psychotic symptoms may be prominent in frontotemporal dementia. [Pg.149]

FIGURE 11—54. Cognitive symptom pharmacy. Atypical antipsychotic dmgs (SDA) may improve cognitive functions in both schizophrenic and Alzheimer patients (first-line treatment). They may boost the actions of cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) in Alzheimer s disease. It may also be useful to discontinue any anticholinergic medication that you can, a welcome bonus when switching from conventional antipsychotics to atypical antipsychotics (decreased A Ch). [Pg.447]
