Abstract: (R)-7-chloro-N-(quinuclidin-3-yl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxamide has been found to have procognitive effects in humans at unexpectedly low doses. Thus, (R)-7-chloro-N-(quinuclidin-3-yl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxamide and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof can be used at unexpectedly low doses to improve cognition.
