Abstract

The effects of the nootropic agent piracetam and its congeners oxiracetam, pramiracetam and aniracetam on the retention performance of mice in a passive-avoidance situation are dependent on the intensity of the foot-shock applied. This phenomenon is observed upon both pre-trial and post-trial drug administration.
