The apolipoprotein E-epsilon4 allele (APOE-epsilon4) confers greater susceptibility to age-related memory disorders. Abnormalities in the cholinergic system are likely contributors to these disorders with both age and APOE-epsilon4 genotype modifying behavioral and physiological responses to drugs that alter cholinergic pathway function. Recently, we reported a greater in vivo distribution volume of the F-18...
