Glutamate is a natural chemical in the brain that is associated with Alzheimer's symptoms.

Memantine may improve the ability to think and remember information in people with Alzheimer's, or slow the rate at which these abilities are lost. However, it does not cure Alzheimer's disease or prevent future loss of these abilities.
