A scheme of complex administration of drugs in the order neuroprotector + neuroactivator + neuroretarder for the treatment of neurodegenerative processes in the brain has been elaborated and tested on a model object representing neurodegenerative mutants of Drosophila melanogaster. The appearance of changes in the brain was delayed when drugs were used separately: donepezil hydrochloride (arisept), 10 - 11 days, epinephrine and nimodipine, I - 2 days. The treatment of flies with the same drugs in the order arisept + epinephrine + nimodipine leads to the complete regeneration of D. melanogaster brain tissue to within 15 days of imago life.
