  1. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs), such as donepezil, have been shown to improve cognition in mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients.

  2. Effects of telmisartan on cognition and regional cerebral blood flow in hypertensive patients with Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 64 out of 100. Geriatrics & gerontology international 2011-09-19 Drug development

    These findings suggest that telmisartan may have additional benefits and be useful for the treatment of elderly hypertensive patients with AD.

  3. Cholinergic stimulation alters performance and task-specific regional cerebral blood flow during working memory

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 1997-06-01 Treatments

    Modulation of the cholinergic neurotransmitter system results in changes in memory performance, including working memory (WM), in animals and in patients with Alzheimer disease.
