Treatment

ExcerptReference

"Treatment with nefiracetam reduced the prolongation of the escape latency in the water maze test on days 7-9 after microsphere embolism-induced sustained cerebral ischemia, suggesting an improvement in the spatial learning function."( Ando, T; Kago, T; Takagi, K; Takagi, N; Takeo, S, 2005)
"Pretreatment with nefiracetam reversed the inhibitory effects of chlordiazepoxide and apomorphine, but not those of methamphetamine, on latent learning."( Hasegawa, T; Ichihara, K; Nabeshima, T; Nakayama, S; Shiotani, T; Yamada, K, 1994)
