Vasopressin and memory: improvement in normal short-term recall and reduction of alcohol-induced amnesia.
    Psychological medicine, 1987, Volume: 17, Issue:2

    The vasopressin analogue 1-desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP) has been shown in healthy male volunteers to cause significant improvement in short-term memory and to reduce alcohol-induced amnesia. There was no significant effect upon semantic retrieval or simple reaction time. It was concluded that vasopressin benefited the initial processes of consolidation and learning, while the reduction of the amnesic effects of alcohol may support the contentions of other authors that the peptide improves memory in states of mild amnesia.

    Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry, 1982, Volume: 45, Issue:9

    In view of the reported influence of vasopressin on the memory process of animals, trials were carried out on normal subjects and patients with memory disorders using the vasopressin analogue desmopressin. No beneficial effects could be demonstrated.
