Donepezil reduced K3 values,showed some degree of symptomatic improvement, and it was concluded that this improvement was likely caused by improved cholinergic activity by inhibition of AChE in the brain.}, pages = {408--410}, title = {Effect of donepezil on brain acetylcholinesterase activity in patients with AD measured by PET}, volume = {56}, year = {2001} }
