A brief report on the role of neurotransmittors (especially dopamine) depletion in cerebral aging and the development of certain pathological conditions in the elderly is presented. This is followed by a report on the results obtained by the administration of citicoline (500 mg/per diem intramuscularly for 20 days) to a group of 24 elderly patients with senile mental decay. A significant improvement (p less than 0.01) in mental performance was observed in all patients and no side effects were noted.
