Nefiracetam (NEF) is a pyrrolidonetype nootropic agent with various pharmacologic as well as cognition enhancing effects. In amygdala-kindled seizures, nefiracetam inhibits both electroencephalographic and behavioral seizures. NEF has a distinct anticonvulsant spectrum.
Novel pyrrolidonetype nootropic (condition enhancing) agent with anticonvulsant spectrum.

We will review the available evidence on the frequency, clinical correlates, mechanism, and treatment of apathy following stroke. We have explored relevant databases (that is, PubMed, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO) using the following key words and their combinations: apathy, motivation, abulia
Animal models of drug discrimination have been used to examine the subjective effects of addictive substances. The cAMP system is a crucial downstream signaling pathway implicated in the long-lasting neuroadaptations induced by addictive drugs. We examined effects of rolipram, nefiracetam
To ascertain the early pathophysiological features in canine renal papillary necrosis (RPN) caused by the neurotransmission enhancer nefiracetam, male beagle dogs were orally administered nefiracetam at 300 mg/kg/day for 4 to 7 weeks in comparison with ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory

Nefiracetam is a pyrrolidine-related nootropic drug exhibiting various pharmacological actions such as cognitive-enhancing effect. We previously showed that nefiracetam potentiates NMDA-induced currents in cultured rat cortical neurons. To address questions whether nefiracetam affects NMDA receptor-dependent synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus
