Abstract

BACKGROUND: infection. METHODS: <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: infection. CONCLUSION: infection through increasing AChE reduces the level of Acetylcholine (Ach) and consequently affects learning and memory activity in infected hosts, whereas, donepezil as an AChE inhibitor improves these impairments by restoring ACh levels at synapses of neurons in brain.
