piracetam and Learning Disabilities

piracetam has been researched along with Learning Disabilities in 23 studies

Piracetam: A compound suggested to be both a nootropic and a neuroprotective agent.

Learning Disabilities: Conditions characterized by a significant discrepancy between an individual's perceived level of intellect and their ability to acquire new language and other cognitive skills. These may result from organic or psychological conditions. Relatively common subtypes include DYSLEXIA, DYSCALCULIA, and DYSGRAPHIA.
