22 2 How do current treatments work?
23 They strike at the final leg of the pathological cascade Some restore deficient normal signal transmission mediated by acetylcholine acetylcholine deficient normal signal transmission
24 They strike at the final leg of the pathological cascade Others attenuate exessive abnormal signal transmission effected by glutamate defunct nerve cell glutamate excessive abnormal signal transmission
25 Cholinesterase inhibitors restore acetylcholine The neurotransmitter acetylcholine is rapidly inactivated by the enzyme cholinesterase. acetylcholine cholinesterase acetylcholine receptor
26 Cholinesterase inhibitors restore acetylcholine Cholinesterase inhibitors block the action of the enzyme and thus increase the amount of available acetylcholine. acetylcholine cholinesterase inhibitor acetylcholine receptor
27 Cholinesterase inhibitors restore acetylcholine Cholinesterase inhibitors block the action of the enzyme and thus increase the amount of available acetylcholine. acetylcholine cholinesterase inhibitor Cholinesterase inhibitors Janssen Novartis Pfizer / Eisai Galantamin Rivastigmin Donepezil acetylcholine receptor
28 Memantine attenuates glutamate toxicity Excess amounts of glutamate are released from degenerating nerve cells and over-stimulate neighbouring cells. glutamate glutamate receptor
29 Memantine attenuates glutamate toxicity Memantine partially blocks glutamate receptors and prevents nerve cells from toxic over-stimulation. memantine

67 4Conclusions
68 Conclusions Current medications address the final leg of a complex cascade of pathological events. Benefits are of moderate size and short duration. Novel treatments are being developed which target upstream events. The aims are to slow down the pathological cascade and to prevent severe cognitive decline and ensuing disability. Several different strategies are being pursued, most of which focus on lowering the production or deposition of. In conjunction with early diagnosis the novel treatments will provide extended time and greater ability for coping with cognitive impairment. The novel treatments will increase the need for and the prospects of nonpharmacological interventions.
