title: Acute effect of drugs upon memory of patients with senile dementia.
abstract: Memory has been tested in senile demented patients with the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test. The processus of memorization can be significantly facilitated in acute conditions by lysin-vasopressin, to a lesser degree by piracetam and highly worsened by scopolamine. No effect of physostigmine has been observed.
