title: [Effect of piracetam on passive avoidance learning in ethanol-treated mice].
abstract: Mice received pre- and postnatal drinking water containing 20% ethanol. Ethanol treatment significantly impaired learning, reflected by shorter latency to enter the dark compartment of the apparatus. This effect could be antagonized by the administration of twice daily 100 mg/kg piracetam for ten days. The ethanol treatment and the administration of piracetam did not affect the step-through latencies in the training situation.
