ABSTRACT:
Methods for increasing the level of neurotrophic factors and neurotrophic factor receptors in the brain of a mammal afflicted with a pathology which produces neurodegeneration without significant loss of memory or learning comprising administering to a mammal an effective amount of an allosteric upmodulator of .alpha.-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-isoxazole-4-proprionic acid (AMPA) receptors.
