Abstract
⺠Piracetam, an AMPAkine drug, is known to have nootropic properties. ⺠We examined piracetam's action on passive avoidance learning in day-old chicks. ⺠10 mg/kg piracetam enhanced memory consolidation. ⺠Memory facilitation was seen with injection as late as 120 min post-training. ⺠A facilitatory effect of piracetam was not seen for memory reconsolidation.
