Abstract

A patient with probable Alzheimer's disease participated in four studies involving cholinergic and combination cholinergic/noradrenergic treatment regimens. This patient demonstrated clinically significant improvement only with the combination of physostigmine and clonidine. The implications of these findings are discussed with regard to strategies for neurotransmitter augmentation therapy for Alzheimer's disease.
