Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
CogState Early Phase Battery, Groton Maze Learning Test (GMLT) as measured by the number of errors on the GMLT over time (area under the GMLT-time curve) over hours 1-12.
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours relative to administration of SQ scopolamine or SQ placebo

Participants learned a hidden pathway through a maze (10 x 10 grid of tiles on a computer touch screen) using step-by-step guess, with trial and error feedback after each step. Once the pathway was learned, participants repeated the same pathway four more times. The number of pathway errors was used to indicate the level of cognitive function.
