Abstract
Scopolamine acts as a muscarinic acetylcholine antagonist at M1 receptors. Evidence showing correlations between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cholinergic deficits has lead to investigation of scopolamine as a cognitive deficit model. Previously, a dose of 0.4mg scopolamine induced cognitive deficits on tasks of divided attention (DA), vigilance, and short-term memory (STM) in healthy volunteers (Milovan, 2008). The goal of this study was to evaluate scopolamine-induced deficits on measures of electrophysiological activity (P50, P3a/P3b), analyzed using a novel brain network analysis technique (ElMindA), and cognitive tasks of vigilance, DA, STM, and psychomotor skill administered using a computerized cognitive test battery
