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.

In the brain of Alzheimer's disease patients, down-regulation of both cholinergic and glutamatergic systems have been found and is thought to play an important role in impairment of cognition, learning, and memory. Nefiracetam is a pyrrolidine-related nootropic drug exhibiting various

Nefiracetam is a novel pyrrolidone-type nootropic compound shown in preliminary trials to increase blood flow and improve patient outlook and energy following stroke. Of 137 stroke patients with major depression, 70 also met published diagnostic criteria for apathy (51.1%) and
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

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
