The present invention relates to a peptide comprising at least 12 amino acid residues from the N-terminal end of gas-tric inhibitory polypeptide, or an analogue thereof, which are useful to prophylactically prevent, improve, or reverse the diminished cognitive function associated with these types of disorders, by increasing (or sustaining) the LTP of synaptic transmission. Moreover, sustaining LTP may find utility in the prophylaxis of neurological disease by delaying the onset of impaired cognitive processes, and could serve as a treatment, not only for the diminished cognitive function caused by neurodegeneration, but also for the dysfunctional cognitive processes associated with trauma or age. Additionally, the peptides and analogues of the present invention find are useful to improve the altered cognitive function associated with hyperexcitability- type disorders, by reducing the elevated level of LTP of synaptic transmission.

La présente invention concerne un peptide comprenant au moins 12 résidus d'acides aminés provenant de l'extrémité N-terminale d'un polypeptide inhibiteur gastrique, ou d'un analogue de celui-ci, qui sont utiles pour prévenir de manière prophylactique, améliorer ou inverser la fonction cognitive diminuée associée à ces types de troubles, par l'augmentation (ou le maintien) de la potentiation à long terme (LTP) de la transmission synaptique. En outre, le maintien de la LTP peut avoir une utilité dans la prophylaxie d'une maladie neurologique en retardant le déclenchement de processus cognitifs détériorés, et pourrait servir de traitement, non seulement pour la fonction cognitive diminuée provoquée par la neurodégénérescence, mais également pour les processus cognitifs dysfonctionnels associés à un traumatisme ou à l'âge. De plus, les peptides et analogues de la présente invention sont utiles pour améliorer la fonction cognitive détériorée associée à des troubles de type hyperexcitabilité, par réduction du niveau élevé de LTP de la transmission synaptique.
