Abstract

Pikamilon in the dose of 56 mg/kg caused more pronounced nootropic effects on learning of rats in the water maze and electroshock amnesia under these conditions compared with piracetam in the dose of 200 mg/kg.  Pikamilon in the dose of 10 mg/kg enhanced short-term and long-term memory in the 8 arm radial maze.  Piracetam in the dose 200 mg/kg had no effect on acquisition of rats in radial maze.
