Abstract

The invention relates to the use of substituted amines for the treatment and prevention of brain function disorders. The substituted amines are suitable on the basis of their properties as agonistic or antagonistic ligands for nicotinergic receptors, in particular for the treatment and prevention of senile and presenile dementia and dementia of the Alzheimer type, and of depressions.
