Abstract
Phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors prevent hydrolyzation of the second messengers cyclic adenosine monophosphate and cyclic guanosine monophosphate; they are considered promising cognitive enhancers. Object recognition and object location tests contributed significantly to the advancement of current research on PDE inhibitors in memory, ageing and Alzheimer's disease research studies.
