Abstract
Up to now, the memory-enhancing effect of the nootropics has chiefly been investigated in the context of effects on energy metabolism and on cholinergic and glutamatergic neurotransmission. Recent studies have also shown that the effect on memory is steroid-sensitive. The present review article summarizes the available results and discusses them in the context of a new hypothesis on the mechanism of action and with respect to clinical implications.Entities:
