Aniracetam and Oxiracetam Reverse Effects of Age on Object Recognition

Article Published: 1996

I thought some of our more senior members might be interested in some memory-enhancement studies related to aging. Here is a pretty neat study focusing on the ability of the two nootropics aniracetam and oxiracetam to ameliorate age-related deficits in object recognition. They also do some induced memory deficits with scopolamine and brain-lesions; both nootropics were able to reverse the effects of both induced memory deficits, suggesting effective memory-enhancement by the compounds.
