title: Memory deficits and anticholinergic levels in chronic schizophrenia.
abstract: Recent memory correlated inversely with serum anticholinergic levels for verbal recall but not for recognition memory in 17 chronic schizophrenic inpatients taking neuroleptic medications. The results indicate that anticholinergic activity does not impair primary memory functioning in chronic schizophrenia.
