In the present study, the elevated plus-maze was used to evaluate memory in female mice. In Experiment 1, the mice retested on day 1, 4 or 7 after the initial session escaped from the open arm into the enclosed arm

The effects of a nootropic drug, oxiracetam (50-100-200 mg/kg ip), and a potent antioxidant agent, ascorbic acid (62.5-125-250 mg/kg ip), administered alone or in combination, were investigated on scopolamine-induced amnesia in a mouse habituation test. The light-dark aversion test was

A series of dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazole-2,5(3H,6H)-diones were synthesized. These bicylic derivatives contain both the 2-pyrrolidinone and 4-imidazolidinone nuclei, already recognized as important for cognition enhancing activity. In addition, these structures maintain the backbone of piracetam and oxiracetam with the acetamide side chain

Many theories of memory postulate that processing of information outlasts the learning situation and involves several different physiological substrates. If such physiologically distinct mechanisms or stages of memory do in fact exist, they should be differentially affected by particular experimental
