June 2, 1970 Dr. Henry Adams university of Georgia Athens, Georgia Dear D . Adams, my associates and I have read your recent report, ”Electroconvulsive Shock, Brain Acetyloholinesteraee Activity and Memory" with considerable interest. we would like to become acquainted with any subaequent studies from your laboratory. are aware, Ulett and his co-workers were unable to even with higher dosages of'atropine (oft Johnoon et al., Arch gen Psychiat., 2:324—336, 1960). In reviewing their experiences, and our own with various anticholinergic drugs, we became concerned that studies (particularly in man) that dependeddbn the anticholinergic effects in the central nervous system were often unsuccessful because the peripheral effects of'atropine exceed the central effects, especially at low dosages. While the same is less true for scopolamine, this compound also has extensive peripheral effects. we tested a variety of active anticholinergic drugs and reported that benactyzine, Ditran and diethazine seemed to elicit a higher degree of central activity in proportion to their peripheral effects.(cj2 EEG clin. As you replicate their findings, Neurophysiol. , 12.- 359—369, 1960) . time ago, I reviewed the available data on central and anticholinergic cholinergic activity and the convulsive therapy and am I taking the liberty of’enclosing a reprint that may process, Some be of interest. Again, our congratulations on a nice piece cf’work. Sincerely yours, m Fink, M. D.
