The purpose of this project is to test the hypothesis that AGB101 low dose levetiracetam extended release formulation can reduce abnormal hyperfunctional activity in the hippocampus in normal, healthy adults. The investigators will compare the functional connectivity results after taking AGB101 or placebo.
In this study the investigators want to find out whether the use of a perturbation, such as AGB101 low dose of levetiracetam extended release formulation, in healthy adults can reduce abnormal hippocampal network activity. The investigators also want to study whether this low dose of LEV can improve memory function.
Generic levetiracetam is a type of drug called an anti-epileptic or anti-seizure medication. It is FDA approved worldwide for adults and children as young as one month with seizures. It is a generic drug used in long-term epilepsy treatment. It is relatively safe and has an acceptable side-effect profile.
AGB101 has been developed as a novel extended release formulation of low dose levetiracetam (below clinically marketed doses for epilepsy) for slowing the progression of amnestic mild cognitive impairment.
It is known that age and the APOE 4 gene are important risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer's disease. Further studies have shown that cognitively normal, older adults have more hyperfunctional brain network activity, increased alpha beta accumulation, decreased memory function, and decreased brain volume, which is consistent with Alzheimer's disease patterns.
