Research Abstract |
In this present study, we demonstrated that nefiracetam mediates cognitive function through activation of CaM kinase II (Moriguchi et al., J. Neurochem. 2008), and nefiracetam augments the impairment of coginitive function through activation of CaM kinase II and PKC in olfactory bulbectomized mice (Moriguchi et al., J. Neurochem. 2009), and nefiracetam enhances glutamatergic system via presynaptic nicotinic acethylcholine receptors in rat cortical neurons (Moriguchi et al., Neuroscinece 2009), and galantamine mediates cognitive function through activation of CaM kinase II (Moriguchi et al., Hippocampus, 2009).
