- Abstract
Objective: Mild neurocognitive disorders resulting from neuromedical treatments are frequently observed in medical and psychiatric practice. Psychotropics, especially central nervous system (CNS) depressants, produce disturbances in cognition and social functioning. Methods: We administered amycenone (Amyloban'3399) to three patients with mild neurocognitive disorders and disturbances in social functioning. Results: The three patients were treated with amycenone (Amyloban'3399), a compound extracted from the mushroom Hericium erinaceum. Conclusion: Amycenone restored cognitive function in the three patients.
