title: [Effect of eleutherococcus on short-term memory and visual perception in healthy humans].
abstract: Acute administration of a liquid eleutherococcus extract significantly improves short-term memory in healthy humans. The expression of this action depends on the daytime and psychophysiological peculiarities of the volunteers. Administration of the preparation also changes light perception by increasing retinal sensitivity. This effect was more pronounced in humans with weak type of high nervous activity in evening hours.
