title: [Analysis of the effect of lithium salts on cognitive functions].
abstract: In this work the authors studied the effects of lithium on memory and reaction times in 7 manic-depressive patients receiving long-term therapy. The results suggest lithium treatment does not change these intellectual functions to any significant extent, comparing the trials of the experimental sessions during the therapy and after two weeks off lithium. Our data mostly agree with the studies of other Authors who used similar experimental methods.
