So the bottom line on ginkgo is not very encouraging. While some tests have shown that it can lead to modest memory improvement in demented patients, the effects are far from spectacular. Anyone wishing to give ginkgo a try should consider taking only the standardized versions. Check the label for something like twenty-four-percent potency, and remember to... 

As a prescription drug for the treatment of ADHD, amphetamines have been shown to increase performance accuracy, improve short-term memory, improve reaction time, aid in mathematical computation, increase problem-solving abilities in games, and help individuals concentrate. 

Arylgermatranes were more active than hetaryl derivatives in memory improvement tests (Table 11). Phenylgermatrane, p-tolylgermatrane, p-fluorophenylethynylgermatrane, benzylgermatrane and o- and p-bromobenzylgermatranes completely prevented animals from retrogradal amnesia caused by electric shock.

Scores of clinical studies with HA have been reported thus far. Favorable efficacy of HA was demonstrated in the treatment of more than 1000 patients suffering from age-related memory dysfunction or dementia in China. An early study conducted on 100 patients with probable AD oral HA (0.15-0.25 mg, t.i.d.) showed significant improvement in all rating scores evaluated by the Buschke Selective Reminding task. An inverted U-shaped dose response curve for memory improvement was... 

Complex systems such as the medication use system create an environment that allows these errors to occur. Slips or mistakes can apply to any of the steps in the medication use system. The volume of existing and new medications, therapies, and nuances used in medical practices is overwhelming. Systems that prevent the need to depend on memory improve medication safety.

Lipoxygenase (5LO) is upregulated in AD, and plays an active role in the development of brain amyloidosis in the APP transgenic mice. APP transgenic mice treated with Zileuton, a specific 5LO inhibitor, showed memory improvement reduction of Ap levels and deposition, secondary to a downregulation of the y-secretase pathway. Zileuton-treated mice had a reduction in tau phosphorylation, secondary to a decreased activation ofthe cdk5 kinase [558],... 

In vitro studies with Ginkgo biloba, often used for memory improvement, exhibited induction of CYP2C19. The extent of induction appears to be CYP2C19 genotype dependent. 

Bacopa monniera Wettst, popularly known as Brahmi is widely used as a nervine tonic for memory improvement, cardio tonic and diuretic in Indian traditional medicine [63]. The alcoholic leaf extract of the plant was reported to improve the performance of rats in various learning experiments as manifested by better acquisition, consolidation and retention of newly acquired behavioural responses [64-66]. The activities...
