A drug which improves cerebral neurotransmission based on interaction of long-term activation of a protein kinase C pathway and long-term activation of presynaptic nicotinic acetylcholine (nACh) receptors, and on an accompanying increase in the amount of released glutamate, which activates cerebral neurotransmission over a prolonged period. The substances of the present invention serve as excellent nootropic. They are particularly useful for the therapy of dementia caused by hydrocephalus, or by subdural hemorrhage. |
