Preclinical studies have shown that E-6801 has potential therapeutic effects in animal models of cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative diseases. In these studies, treatment with E-6801 improved memory and learning performance, and reduced neurodegeneration. These findings suggest that E-6801, and other 5-HT6 receptor agonists, may have potential as treatments for conditions such as [[Alzheimer's disease]], [[Parkinson's disease]], and other forms of dementia.
