Abstract
• The combined effects of orally administrated physostigmine salicylate and lecithin were assessed in a double-blind study of a single patient with post-traumatic amnesia. Treatment improved verbal but not visual memory. But storage and retrieval of words in verbal memory were facilitated, with the former effect being more robust.
