Etiracetam is a racetam derivative with nootropic properties. It is a synthetic compound, not found in nature, and its chemical structure is similar to piracetam, another nootropic drug. Etiracetam is thought to work by modulating the activity of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly acetylcholine and glutamate. It is being studied for its potential to improve cognitive function, including memory, attention, and learning. Research suggests that etiracetam may have neuroprotective effects, potentially protecting the brain from damage caused by stroke or other injuries. Its potential benefits in conditions like Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive impairments are also being investigated. However, more research is needed to fully understand its efficacy and safety profile.'

A viral disease transmitted by the bite of AEDES mosquitoes infected with ZIKA VIRUS. Its mild DENGUE-like symptoms include fever, rash, headaches and ARTHRALGIA. The viral infection during pregnancy, in rare cases, is associated with congenital brain and ocular abnormalities, called Congenital Zika Syndrome, including MICROCEPHALY and may also lead to GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME.		02.2510
