"In 156 experiments performed on 41 cats with adequate experimental models of pseudoneurotic conditions, states of anxiety due to an electrostimulation of the hypothalamus through implanted electrodes and an emotional stress due to a conflict situation the authors compared the individual traits of the psychotropic activity of lorazepam, diazepam, chlordiazepoxide, oxazepam, nirazepam."3.66[Psychophysiologic characteristics of the individual psychotropic activity of benzodiazepine derivatives under experimental conditions]. ( Kozlovskaia, MM; Val'dman, AV, 1978)
"Zopiclone was slightly superior to nitrazepam but was inferior both to flurazepam and flunitrazepam."2.65Comparative study of zopiclone, a novel hypnotic, and three benzodiazepines. ( Giercksky, KE; Wickstrøm, E, 1980)
